Non-branded (or cheaper) alcohol.

Sunset Reef from Sainsburys is a good malibu substitution. It is the best imitation one around (much better than Iceland's) and about £5 or £6 a bottle which is half of a bottle of Malibu.

I'm a student and me and all my friends drink it!!

Also if you watch out for the Sainsburys 3 for £12 wine offer you can get some gorgeous wines that are normally about £9 a bottle. The Mondelli ones are really nice!

The Southern Comfort tastealikey from Aldi IS called Southern Belle and it costs £9.99.
Aldi have been doing a cherry brandy for £4.99 - I havent tried it though!

I'm test drinking this tonight, just to make sure it is good enough for christmas

Aldi's amaretto is very nice but it's half the abv of Disaronno (and half the price, too ). It's sweeter to make up for it. It's lovely for baking, hot drinks and milkshakes for this reason, but I don't like it neat.

I'm keeping an eye out for their cherry brandy! Not seen any yet.

I like LIDL's bourbon that they do for just over £10. Very drinkable.

I'll second that! It sits taste wise in-between Jack Daniels and Jim Beam.

I have 9 bourbons in my collection atm (inc a 20 yr old Pappy Van Winkle Special family Reserve - which I'll be opening Christmas).

Works well in Mint Julips or if you can get it Rochester Ginger http://www.original-drinks.com/ (it's £4 but it's used more like a syrup than a pop drink and packs a truly amazing 10 minute mouth tingling kick) with 1/2 a fresh lime squeezed in.

Lidls Rose Californian Zinfindal not bad.

Also I've got a fair few of their Liqueurs from when they do their Food of the World specials.

I use to drink their £2 cider but I've discovered it contains artificial sweeteners so I'll not touch that now.

This was out of stock for ages in our Aldi but I finally managed to get hold of some the other day. It's lovely, I made some truffles with it (white chocolate truffles with apricot and amaretto) and had a few capfuls myself, just to make sure it was ok

Also bought some calvados from Aldi and it's not bad.

I had a bottle of premade Eggnog last year that was really yummy and I cannot for the life of me remember where I got it from.

I think it was called Holiday Nog. Anyone seen it anywhere?
