	Ah, yes -- like the "mouse"catel produced once by
a friend of a friend (not an urban legend!!).  Unfortunately,
the "secret ingredient" wasn't discovered until almost the
entire batch had been consumed (making several folks rather
ill in the process).  I'm just glad I missed that one . . .

	The commercially-produced stuff, yes, but I've had some
pretty stong locally-produced homebrew cider.  Then there's
applejack . . . I recall a gentleman I know who even produced twice-
jacked applejack once.  He started out with 2 gallons of juice and ended
up with about a pint of jack.  It was memorable.  :)
