I'm guessing most of you are from the US and I'm not sure that cider refers to the same drink here in the UK. Cider here is fermented apple juice and rather alcoholic - it comes in varieties from commercial Blackthorn (not very appley, rubbish really) to local scrumpy jack, which is very appley and rough as old boots. Is U.S. cider alcoholic (>5%)?
I first tasted spiced cider in a sky resort in Colorado and it was wonderful, I tried it again at Glastonbury and it knocked me off my feet!!!
