Here's one that I've come up with:
Purple Drink Hooch
1 can frozen "Grape Juice Cocktail" (~15% juice)
~40oz water
E-Z Cap Wine yeast
Add all ingredients to 2-Liter bottle, shake vigorously, then let ferment for 10
days to 2 weeks. Put in fridge on day 14 to clarify for 2 days. Will taste
exactly like grape soda, but with a little kick. I figure I get around 6%ABV.

juice, not 'wine' taste or body at all. I know it's still a little early
though.
Wayyyyy too early to drink. A week of fermentation at 65-70deg at least, then a
day in the fridge to clarify and chill down will vastly improve the taste and
quality of your ciders. Face it, you're not gonna put Spire/Woodchuck/Hornsby's
out of the hard cider business, but at least you'll have something drinkable for
little or no work!
