Bayou Bob is the nickname of Bob Popplewell, a rattlesnake and turtle rancher who owns and operates of Bayou Bob's Brazos River Rattlesnake Ranch in Santo, Texas, located approximately 60 miles north of Fort Worth. Popplewell was arrested by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission on March 24, 2008 for selling vodka bottled with rattlesnakes which he marketed as a supposed, "ancient Asian elixir."
Popplewell will contest the charges on the grounds that his product is intended to be a healing tonic rather than an alcoholic beverage. He contends that vodka is used strictly for its preservative properties, and compares the final product to cough syrup. Local authorities are hesitant to accept that explanation, asserting that the sale of any kind of liquor requires a state permit.
