Head to head
Nojito and Russian Spring Punch side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference, by the numbers
They have no ingredient in common: the Nojito has sugar, mint, lime juice and soda water, the Russian Spring Punch vodka, lemon juice, crème de cassis, simple syrup and sparkling wine. In parts, a Nojito is ¼ sugar, 1 lime and 1¼ soda; a Russian Spring Punch is 1¾ vodka, 1¾ lemon, 1 cassis, ¾ syrup and 4 bubbles. By volume, the Nojito is 52% mixer and juice, 39% citrus and 9% syrup and sugar; the Russian Spring Punch is 44% mixer and juice, 19% spirit, 19% citrus, 11% liqueur and 7% syrup and sugar. Different bottles, similar balance: that makes them close cousins on the ratio map.
The Russian Spring Punch is the stronger drink in the glass (11.3% ABV against 0.0%) and holds more alcohol (1.10 standard drinks against 0.00). The Russian Spring Punch has more calories (about 167 against 35) and more sugar (13.5 g against 6.8 g). Both are served in a highball; the Nojito is built, the Russian Spring Punch shaken.
