The Judge's Water Vodka by Cheech & Chong
750mL | Premium vodka | 1st Edition collector's release — a few thousand bottles, made once, never again — The Judge's Water Vodka by Cheech & Chong is a super-limited collector's vodka: each 1st Edition ships in a $300 handmade collector's box with a diamond-tipped drill bit, drill guide, custom hand-blown downstem and bowl, gaskets, a branded lighter, and an art book illustrating the iconic "Up in Smoke" scene — everything needed to convert the empty bottle into a working water pipe. The brand calls it "double gold award-winning juice." Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
The name comes from Cheech & Chong lore: in court, Chong mistook Judge Gladys Dykes' water pitcher for vodka ("That's fuckin' vodka, man!!"). The Judge's Water turns that moment into a bottle — a 750mL of premium vodka in a box built for the memorabilia shelf, with only a few thousand 1st Editions made.
