Right. Cider is definitely always alcoholic here. Apple juice is juice. I've not really encountered a specific name for the version that keeps the peel
"Hey remember we banned alcohol but he's some unfiltered apple juice we're going to call cider to convince farmers we didn't screw up most of their livelihood"
Out here, “Apple Cider” is apple juice made with the skin left in, the boozy stuff is called “Hard Cider”
