Toast Snoop Dogg’s birthday with the ultimate Laid Back Cocktail
While many people can hear the notes of his infamous “Gin and Juice” playing, that anthem is only one of the ways to toast Snoop Dogg’s birthday. Given that the Doggfather has become more than just the man on stage, the successful entrepreneur has put his talents behind many projects, including his Indoggo Gin. For his birthday celebration this year, it is time to take a step back from the busy schedules and toast to the Laid Back Cocktail.
Recently gin has been having a moment. While the shelf is overflowing with options, the reality is that every gin is quite different. Even though the modern gin with more balanced, approachable botanicals that seem to tend to blend more like a vodka have pushed the conversation forward, it isn’t the only category in the space.
Flavored gins beyond the traditional botanicals have started to gain traction. From the bold colors that pique cocktail lovers’ interest to sweeter varieties that entice with flavor, these options take the conversation in another direction. Far from your grandfather’s gin, these beverages entice on a whole other level.
What is the Laid Back Cocktail for Snoop Dogg’s birthday?
Indoggo, Snoop Dogg’s gin, is different from other options on the shelf. While the brightly colored bottle can capture people’s attention on the shelf, the interest goes beyond the packaging.
With a sweet strawberry flavor, the gin might not need that extra part of juice for its ultimate enjoyment. The gluten-free, sugar-free, low calorie gin is both easy to incorporate in a cocktail or delightful served simply.
For the Doggfather’s birthday, Indoggo is shaking up The Laid Back Cocktail. As the name suggests, this cocktail is about taking a step back, letting those cares disappear and enjoying a moment of relaxation.
Beyond the gin trend, this cocktail has the optional use of CBD oil, which is also a growing trend in the food world. While people can debate the use of these types of ingredients, it is growing in popularity. From desserts to helping to promote sleep, it is becoming less taboo. Although it might not become as common as a sprinkling of finishing salt, it isn’t banished off the shelf.
