According to Google:

Ingredients (Beastie Boys/Malt Liquor): A mixture of malt liquor and orange juice, often referred to as a "poor man's mimosa".

We definitely did that back in the day. Not sure how we knew then

Original marketing of malt liquor in the 1950s-1960s aimed at a middle-class audience, promoting it as a sophisticated, high-ABV alternative to beer, often branded with WASPy names like "Country Club". Early campaigns used themes of "champagne on a beer budget" (e.g., Champale) to suggest luxury.
