There are plenty of ways to describe a drink that's made primarily from apples. You could call it a cider, although that often refers specifically to a fermented drink that contains alcohol. Other synonyms for "apple-based drink" include juice, which conveys the idea that the beverage is made from fresh fruit, and nectar, which suggests that the drink is thicker and more substantial than a simple juice. You might also describe an apple drink as a infusion, which hints at the use of herbs or spices to add flavor. Another option is to simply use specific terms for different types of apple drinks, such as calvados (a type of apple brandy) or mulled cider (a warm, spiced drink often enjoyed in the fall and winter).
