Ok, afterwards he pours something in her coffee. But it's a white bottle without any label.
I presume that you think that "Snake Bite" is a brand of whiskey, but what about the word "lil'? Is it a slang word that means 'little'? Therefore, if it is, the sentence would mean: "Do you want a trickle of Snake Bite whiskey in your coffee?"
Am I right?

Then it's moonshine.

Snakebite describes the effect that the drink has on someone, rather than being a brand name.

"lil' = little

Would you like a spot of moonshine in your coffee?
