In popular culture
[edit]The gin and juice has inspired the popular hip hop song "Gin and Juice" by Snoop Dogg, Snoop Dogg's most-streamed (on Spotify) song from his 1993 debut album Doggystyle.[2][3][4] This was followed up in popular culture by a reference in the 1995 song "In the Summertime" by Rayvon and Shaggy: "I offered her a drink and she said Juice and Gin".[5]
The lyrics to the 2010 song "California Gurls" by Katy Perry has a reference to the drink with the lyrics in question: "Sippin' gin and juice / Laying underneath the palm trees".[6] The lyrics of the song "Hands to Myself", by Selena Gomez, also makes reference to it.[7]
Kiss Me More by Doja Cat (feat. SZA) also makes a reference to the drink: "taste breakfast, lunch, and gin and juice". The song "Ballad of Herman Dune (High on Rye & Lost at Sea)" by the group "Herman Dune" also makes reference to the drink: "I use to dream of the LBC. Watching Snoop Dogg in the MTV. Now I miss my youth and I miss my tooth. But I'm cruising and sipping on Gin&Juice".
On Miranda Lambert's 2022 album Palomino, the song "Scenes" (co-written by Lambert and songwriters Natalie Hemby & Luke Dick) includes the line "Got a gin and juice at the Satellite Inn."
