alcohol
@masklayer Most shitty alcohols make drinking an unpleasant experience, but there are a lot of cheap alcohols that are quite palatable.
If I were mixing drinks on a budget, I'd get a decent bottle of inexpensive vodka (Stolichnaya or Stoli for short is a good option) and a couple of those flavor syrups, then go 2 parts vodka, to 1 part water and enough syrup to give it a nice taste. That'd be a ~25% ABV drink. Two of those should get you nicely tuned. ^^
