Re: Turbo Cider
You would be better served with something that is 100% juice. I believe that this "apple drink" is 40%.

Re: Turbo Cider
I've used cheapo Morrison's juice but I'm not sure if it's that one. Sometimes the addition of the word "drink" means it has preservatives - check the carton for sulphites or sorbates. But IIRC this one just has some vitamin C, which is OK.
3 of those, one of cranberry, half a litre of very strong tea, will do you a gallon nicely.
I generally dismiss arguments about % of juice, from-concentrate versus pure, etc, as all this stuff is formulated to taste like apple juice. It all has about the same amount of apple and sugar.
Having said that though, all my TCs now start with 500ml of Suma concentrate as the base, then I add a litre or a half or 1.5l of cheapo AJ, half a llitre of SomeOtherJuice, powedered tannin, usually some sort of sweetener, and these days I like to use ale yeast. Suma concentrate has a great flavour and pretty much ideal acidity.
