The bodega near where I used to live in Queens used to sell pre-made vodka and fruit punch drinks for like $5. They only really told regulars, though. It was nice being able to grab a cheap, strong camouflaged drink on my way to going out in the city.

That's about the only example of black market liquor I've come across.

Even then, I'd imagined the liquor itself came from a legal source, even if they were selling without a license.
