Head to head
Nojito and Pussyfoot side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference, by the numbers
Both have mint and lime juice. Only the Nojito has sugar and soda water; only the Pussyfoot has orange juice, lemon juice, grenadine and egg yolk. In parts, a Nojito is ¼ sugar, 1 lime and 1¼ soda; a Pussyfoot is 8 orange, 1 lemon, 1 lime and 1 grenadine. By volume, the Nojito is 52% mixer and juice, 39% citrus and 9% syrup and sugar; 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 35) and more sugar (20.3 g against 6.8 g). Both are served in a highball; the Nojito is built, the Pussyfoot shaken.
