Head to head
Cinderella and Pussyfoot side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference, by the numbers
Both have orange juice, lemon juice and grenadine. Only the Cinderella has pineapple juice and soda water; only the Pussyfoot has mint, lime juice and egg yolk. In parts, a Cinderella is 2¾ orange, 2 pineapple, 1 lemon and 2¾ soda; a Pussyfoot is 8 orange, 1 lemon, 1 lime and 1 grenadine. By volume, the Cinderella is 86% mixer and juice and 12% citrus; the Pussyfoot is 73% mixer and juice, 18% citrus and 9% syrup and sugar. That makes them close cousins on the ratio map.
They are about equally strong in the glass (both 0.0% ABV), and they hold about the same alcohol (0.00 standard drinks each). The Pussyfoot has more calories (about 172 against 76) and more sugar (20.3 g against 13.6 g). Both are shaken and served in a highball.
