Snoop Dogg wants you to put gin in your Bloody Mary
Still G.I.N. by Dre and Snoop

Plenty of celebs have their own tequila brands, but it's rarer to see interest in gin. Hip hop legends Dre and Snoop are on it though, with a recent launch of their own ultra-premium gin -- and one of the brand's recipe suggestions is a controversial one that I'm hugely in favor of.
