We started the *Evan Rude with trash vodka, but math showed everclear to be the best on a budget. Could use 1 unit to get same alcohol content as 2 units vodka. 'Eclear, powdered Gatorade, water from the hose we could mix this shit stout for like $2 gallon back in the 90's.
*it was named that because a buddy named Evan came up with the recipe as the absolute cheapest alcoholic drink that could be produced that girls would like, and the 1st weekend trying it out at the lake was epic
Back in those days it was expensive if you were Baptist.
