Can't you just use glucose? It's like $5/lb on Amazon as either syrup or powder. Or you can get 50 lb for $60.
Edit: There are also options at $3/lb and $2/lb if you know where to look.
Gin + glucose + citric acid + lime oil + mint = southside
Tequila + Fresca + citric acid + grapefruit oil + salt = paloma
Rum (light) + glucose + citric acid + mint + club soda = mojito
Citric acid can be found at the grocery store (or online). Citrus oils can be found in the peel.
I've been tossing a bit of lemon or lime in pretty much all of my batches lately. If I used lemon juice for something else in the kitchen, I'll just toss the squeezed lemon in my next batch of hooch to get some nice citrus notes.
Reading up on wine-making and making some side-by-side test batches gave me a lot of respect for the role of acidity and non-fermentable sugars in the overall taste of the finished product. Adding a pinch of cheap acid blend and a bit of corn sugar/dextrose to the hooch can make quite a difference!
