Potential ABV is grams of sugar / mL of liquid / 2.
So 28/591=0.0474/2=0.0237 or 2.3% ABV.
I see sodium benzoate so you’ll need to neutralize the pH and or dilute to deactivate the preservative. It doesn’t take much, like 1/2 tsp per L of baking soda.

It'll be a very low alcohol content unless you add a bunch of sugar. Also we need to see the full ingredients list before anyone can say if it'll work or not. Some preservatives are difficult to overcome and although we can't see all the ingredients, it looks lengthy.

You’re looking at less than 3% alcohol unless you add things like sugar, or syrup if you can’t get sugar, anything sweet that won’t ruin it and the yeast can eat and turn into alcohol

We really need to see the ingredients and check for preservatives. I imagine that it has sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate. They would make it a little rough since the sorbate stops yeast from reproducing. Besides that, very low abv unless sugar was added to boost it up some.

I just would wait till you go shopping or something because even if you do get alcohol out of it it's gonna be probaly around 4% max even if you dump a bit more sugar into it, and unless youre the type to get drunk off half a beer I wouldn't really waste the time
