Notes

Since everyone has a different standard of how strong a drink is, it's best to start with less alcohol in a recipe and then slowly add more as you taste. Start with two cups and see what you think! 
You can always add more, but can't take it out once it's in the cider mixture.
You can also use vodka for this recipe but Everclear is more traditional for moonshine.
