To burn it off
Țuică is a Romanian brandy made from plums, distilled once. It's poured as a welcome, before a meal and at every wedding, often from a bottle somebody's uncle made.
A 40 ml shot is 99 kcal. There's no sugar, fat or protein in it, the calories are the alcohol.
Pălincă is its stronger cousin, distilled twice, so a shot of that has a little more. Homemade bottles vary a lot, so treat the number as a guide.
Tips
