Snoop Dogg Recalls Dr. Dre Bringing Gallon Jug of Gin & Juice to the Studio: ‘It Was Some Hood S–t’

“Gin and Juice” wasn’t just an anthem from Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre, it was a lifestyle. In promotion of their Gin & Juice cocktails, the iconic West Coast duo linked up with Big Boy on Tuesday (Oct. 1).

Snoop put Dre’s drinking habits on blast when recalling how the legendary producer would pull up to the studio with a milk gallon jug, but instead of milk, it was filled up with gin and juice as the beverage of choice.

“That’s all we were drinking in the studio. This n—a would come in there with a gallon — you know the milk gallons? He’d pour the milk out — half gin, half orange juice,” Snoop explained.

Dre quickly interjected to provide some context in his defense: “We were in our 20s, man.”

“I come in with the bumpy face gin and juice,” Snoop reminisced. “It just was our drink. Super Socco gin. It was just the s–t. It was our drink. It was some hood s–t. What I love about Dr. Dre is when he work with you, he finna learn everything about you.”

“Gin and Juice” landed on Snoop’s Doggystyle debut album and peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Snoop and Dre are looking to leave their mark on the spirits industry with the launch of Gin & Juice, which arrived in February. The cocktails come in four flavors: capricot, citrus, melon and passion fruit.

There’s also new music on the way from the two. Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg are joining forces for their first full-length project since 1993’s Doggystyle. The sequel to Snoop’s debut is fittingly titled Missionary, and is slated to be released in November.

Dre revealed there will be some superstar collaborators involved, including Sting. “We have Sting on the song,” he told Entertainment Tonight in August. “Man, it’s an amazing roster of artists that’s on this album. I shouldn’t have revealed that, to be honest.”
