If history proves anything, it’s that anyone with any money whatsoever should probably invest in any collaboration whatsoever between Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg. Since first joining wizard-level creative forces in 1992, they’ve become icons in the hip hop world and beyond. In fact, it’d be more accurate to say they’re part of our national cultural fabric. Also, gloriously still BFFs with Martha Stewart.

Basically, Snoop and Dre can do no wrong―musically or commercially. The 2024 product launch of their Gin & Juice pre-mixed cocktail line is proof of both. And now, just in time for the height of summer, they’ve released a new line: Dre & Snoop’s Hard Iced Teas and Lemonades, along with a beach-ready Tropical Variety Pack.
High Quality Gin And Fresh Juice
Snoop and Dre started smart. Before Gin & Juice ever debuted (in cans, we mean), they’d partnered up with On the Rocks, a pre-mixed cocktail brand trailblazer composed of three guys who were so flavor obsessed, their business was eventually acquired by Suntory Global Spirits. The point is, Dre and Snoop got serious about flavor from the jump.
The original lineup, released in February 2024 in honor of that, you know, semi-famous song of the same name, included four core flavors: citrus, melon, passionfruit, and apricot. And the O.G. line isn’t just some (insanely) famous names slapped on a can. We all know Dre is quality-obsessed (ever to our benefit), and it’d be impossible for Snoop Dogg to hang out with Martha Stewart so much and not learn the vital importance of quality ingredients. The result: a canned cocktail line made with real juice, their own premium Still G.I.N. brand gin, and no artificial sweeteners (each can has 3 grams of sugar and just 130 calories).
The New Flavor Drop
The new line of Hard Teas and Lemonades doesn’t skimp on quality either. Again, made with the brand’s own Masters Medal award-winning, exotically botanical Still G.I.N. (which Martha mixes into a custom cocktail she calls―with Stewart-esque pointy enunciation―the “Water Melly”), the non-carbonated lineup includes a classic Iced Tea, a Peach Tea, Iced Tea & Lemonade, and a Pink Lemonade. They all clock in at a summer-vibes 5.9% ABV, they’re all low sugar, and they’re all made with real tea and all natural flavors. They’re also available nationwide.
The classic Gin & Juice By Dre lineup is getting some tropical new friends, too, with Pineapple and Mango flavors joining the juicy ranks. And for those of us who, for whatever reason, just end up a li’l sleepy, giggling poolside, they’re also launching 19.2oz tall boy cans of the Peach Iced Tea, Pink Lemonade, and Mango Gin & Juice. So we can remain…laid back. Ahem.
