Crab Apple Juice

I recently made crab apple juice by picking a bunch of crab apples, cutting them into 4ths, boiling them in water until they became frothy, I strained the liquid through a cheese cloth, and finally I boiled the concentrate juice with sugar and maple flavoring.
It turned out super awesome! I was so proud of myself for making such a delicious drink from a crab apple tree which I always assumed was nearly useless to me. I read up on it and apparently the juice has lots of antioxidants and such.
I am just wondering if anybody chanced upon a good recipe for juice that they may be willing to share?
I was also wondering how I could make this juice alcoholic without being too generic. I don't want to use it as a mixer, I want to incorporate the alcohol in with the initial recipe and bottle it for myself and my friends. What kind of alcohol should I use? I was thinking something like homemade moonshine - maybe from my relative - which would make the cordial more "authentic".
What do you think?

A good apple cider would be nice! They used to make cider out of crab apples, because they're inedible. This is exactly what the real Johnny Apple Seed did. Most of the seeds he had sown were crab apples. In fact it is against the odds to plant an apple seed an get an edible apple. They must be propagated by cuttings and grafted.
Moonshine would be equally as awesome!
