    There's one in Aldi called cocobay that's an Aldi substitute. Not quite as good but mixing with coke it's fine.

    (Don't forget (particularly with liqueurs) to check if it is a 70 cl or just a 50 cl bottle.)

    i made that mistake i was more interested in the big sign saying rollback £10 so grabbed a bottle thinking it was a 70cl

    There is another thread albeit from last year I think that will have some other cheaper versions.

    Tesco do a version of Southern comfort called Spirit of Louisiana priced at £12 for bottle size (70cl), to be honest Spirit of Louisiana and Deep South are both a suitable alternative to SoCo.

    Sainsburys do Coco Reef for £6.50 70cl and Aspens Peach Scnapps.

    Ive been looking for an Amaretto alternative, just haven't been to Aldi yet, will have to try the Asda version. Also noticed in B&M that they looked like they did a Jagermeister alternative so might get a bottle of that to try.

    Lidl's Amaretto is very nice. £10.
    Their Brandy too is good. v smooth, Majestat (or similar) £10
    Lastly their Baileys sub is also nice especially if making cocktails <£5.

    I know all this from making ABCs. Amaretto, Baileys and Cognac.

    YUM!

    Now if you are a true Malibu drinker it doesn't taste quite the same but mixed with coke it is very satisfactory and so much cheaper!

    Tesco do Kokoma white rum 70 cl is £5.15.

    The bottle is black and white with pink flowers on it.

    Pour Kokomo over ice and blend with fruit for a refreshing tropical taste
