Probably not. The only preservative that' s OK is ascorbic acid (Vitamin C.)

If you are going to use it, Make a yeast starter and pitch actively fermenting yeast into it.
Potassium sorbate will not stop a fermentation, only prevent one from starting.

I've only once been able to get fermentation going in a juice that had sorbate. It'll probably go bad before it would ferment.

Not that cider isn't drinkable as a non alcoholic beverage though... just drink it.
