Seek out the cheaper versions of white lightning, usually called white spark or something. Found in many good stockists in the Streatham/Brixton area. You can get it for around 99p for 2 litres and it's got more chemicals in it than any of the class A's around!

I know how to have a good time

I've found cheap white cider to be a brilliant mixer for vodka. Unfortunately nobody shared my enthusiasm for my cocktail of 4 measures Amaretto and 4 measures dark rum, named "Andre Santos" due to its bulk and unreliable nature.

from a personal perspective, you cant beat an ice cold bud light or sam adams....but only when in the US and with a bunch of 20 year old women who are into english people. goes down very well...

back on this fair isle im afriad im usually a aspalls cider man.

if you are a cider sceptic and dont like the shit stronbow, bulmers or magners come out with, try aspalls or merrydown. decent quality cider. or a good old fashinoed artisan farmyard scrumpy from the side of the road in cornwall in some old unsanitsed plastic tub.

Quality, but might I suggest an additional 2 Amaretto and then calling it a Fat Santos?
