Allegedly Snoop Dogg's favorite drink

So my friend Bill works at a recording studio, doing bitchwork for whoever shows up that day. This being Hollywood, some big names drop in from time to time, and the D-O-Double G is no exception.

After some time in the studio breakroom, or wherever Snoop was offered snacks, Bill noticed the following items had been consumed: Apple juice and Patrón. Could it be that Gin and Juice just isn't good enough? Is this a combination that actually tastes good? Well, I was determined to find out and so with my friend Bill in tow, a-shopping I did go. Whereupon I learned that Patron is expensive and I'm unwilling to part with that much money in the name of tequila science.

 Cheaper stuff in hand, we decided on the following ratio: 1 shot tequila, rest of the glass apple juice. It didn't fizz or turn funny colors or give off any weird odors, so that's the scary part over. Only one thing left to do; find a suitable Snoop Dogg lyric to turn into a toast and down the hatch it goes.

It's surprising that this combination works, and it works damn well. No real overpowering tequila hit, just a cinnamon, spicy kick right near the end that adulterates the drink and makes everything juuust fine.

Of course, you can never order this drink at a bar. People will look at you like you're crazy. I don't even know if bars have apple juice. I mean, I get stares for tequila and tonic, and that's something GQ told me to order if I want to be classy. So you will always be my guilty pleasure, tequila and apple juice. You don't roll off the tongue quite as well as gin and juice, but gin tastes like you're drinking trees and I don't like that.
