用法筆記
In the United States, 'cider' by itself usually means sweet cider; in the United Kingdom and other regions, 'cider' typically refers to the alcoholic version, so 'sweet cider' is used to specify the non-alcoholic type. In contexts where 'cider' already refers to a non-alcoholic drink, the word 'sweet' may be dropped.
