Dr Dre is set to make his burgeoning empire even bigger with the launch of a new Cognac and Vodka range.

Dre is following up his earphone line with the high class beverage brand to coincide with the release of his new album 'Detox'.

The first tipples from his Drinks America range will be released within the next couple of months, with Aftermath Cognac set to hit the market within 60 days according to Billboard.

A sparkling, 80-proof Vodka will follow by the end of the year.

'Detox' is Dre's first album since 1999 and the follow up to the big selling '2001'.
