Everyone has heard of the worm in tequilla but a fucking rattlesnake in vodka!? This tasty little concoction that you see below was put together by Bayou Bob’s Brazos River Rattlesnake Ranch. It looks like he took some brand of off-the-shelf vodka and dropped in a 10 inch baby rattlesnake.
If you were hoping to get your hands on some of this hooch that might be a little easier said then done. Bayou Bob’s was recently raided by authorities in Texas where they confiscated 411 bottles of rattlesnake vodka. I checked out his website (linked to above) but I couldn’t find any info on the snake booze.
Infusing alcohol with snakes or scorpions is believed to possess aphrodisiac properties, TABC officials told the paper. The practice, in which alcohol is poured over the body of a snake or scorpion, is popular in Asian cultures.
I don’t know what about drinking rattlesnake soaked vodka would make you horny. Maybe just an overwhelming sense of happiness about still being alive? I think Bayou Bob can keep his snake hooch and I will stick to infusing my vodka with something a little more domestic like bacon.

That is crazy. I’ve never heard of this. And I’m from Texas. I’ll have to make some calls to get some info.

Check out this crazy quote from the original article
An Internet search found operations selling Thai scorpion vodka, cobra whiskey, giant centipede whiskey, herbal gecko lizard wine and Mekong River eel wine.

I have heard of this but in northern mexico. It was a large jar of tequila with a rattlesnake in it.
Supposed to get the power of the snake when you drink it. I tried it a couple of times and lived to tell the tale.

I didn’t know that somebody was selling this in US but I got the authentic snake wine from this website and it features a real Cobra snake
