How it fits into a day

Rakija, the Balkan fruit brandy, at 40 % has about 230 kcal per 100 ml, and a 30 ml shot about 70 kcal. The calories come almost only from the alcohol, so plum, grape and apricot rakija have a similar value at the same strength.

A usual serving (1 shot) is about 3% of a 2,000 kcal day. How much do you need a day? Work it out in the calorie calculator.

Lighter options

• Three shots over an evening are about 210 kcal, as much as 2 slices of bread.
• The meze with rakija (prosciutto, cheese, bacon) often has more calories than the rakija itself, so count it separately.
