Wonna get really smashed? Lambs 151 rum.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Ah.... step into my office....
Sweet and cheap? I have a feeling red bull and vodka is right up your alley. It's what I drink for marathon poker games, and no other time. As far as the vodka goes, you can go SUPER cheap with the Taaka or Fleischmann's, but that shit is so terrible, I couldn't in good conscience recommend it. Bang for buck---Sobieski or Smirnoff. Sobieski is a good potato vodka that is relatively cheap. ($20-25 for a 1.5L)
I agree with JesusHChrist (don't quote mine me!) about mojitos. All you need is some white rum, some simple syrup, lime juice, ice, soda, and mint. You muddle the mint (smash it against the ice), 1 part simple syrup and lime juice, 2 parts rum and soda, serve in a highball glass, and enjoy. Absolute heaven on a hot day (which I assume you have quite a few of there in Egypt!)

25 for a 60 of Smirnoff, here it is closer to 65 for the same 60

What? That's outrageous! At the big box store here in TN, I can get a 1.5L of Smirnoff Red for $19.99. Same with Captain Morgan.

This with a decent vodka like Goose or at least Skyy.

Yeah. Bad vodka is bad.

I had myself a nice creme de menthe vodka on the ship to St. Maarten in March. I loved it (though it seemed watered down a bit).
