on the rocks mixed berry cider

I wonder if anyone can help. I started brewing my first batch of mixed berry cider (On the rocks) and I've stupidly thrown the instructions away. After the first ferment and prior to bottling/barrelling do I need to add any sugar or just the sachet of berry juice type thing

    It's easily done to throw the instructions away, but not a problem, after the initial fermentation the instructions say to transfer into a second vessel and carefully leave the sediment behind, then add the flavour pack and stir to mix. Then at this stage you can add the priming sugar if you want to, if bottling you add 5oz or if barrelling add 3oz, stir well and let it dissolve. It can then be bottled or barrelled. 

    Alternatively you can bottle it before adding the sugar and prime with carbonation drops in each bottle
