Lower glycemic index
Jaljeera (Spiced Cumin Cooler)
1–3g sugar per 1 glass (~200ml)
Source: Recipe nutrition estimate (~3g sugar per serving) — most recipes add a small amount of sugar or jaggery to balance the tang; unsweetened versions are near zero. Total carbs: recipe estimate, mostly the small added sugar plus tamarind. GI: low — too little carbohydrate per glass to meaningfully raise blood glucose. · last verified 2026-10-21
Salted Nimbu Pani (No Sugar)
0.5–1g sugar per 1 glass (~240ml)
Source: Recipe nutrition estimate for a no-sugar version (~1.9g total carbs per glass) — the trace of sugar is natural, from the lemon juice. GI: low — there's too little carbohydrate in a glass to meaningfully raise blood glucose. · last verified 2026-10-21
Higher glycemic index
100% Fruit Juice (Mixed Fruit, No Added Sugar)
11.2g sugar per 100ml
Source: Retail product label transcription — 11.2g sugar per 100ml, 0g added sugar, for a 100%-juice-tier mixed fruit product. Total carbs: equal to total sugar — no starch component. GI: high — juicing strips out the fiber that would slow absorption in whole fruit, consistent with this site's hidden-sugars guide. · last verified 2026-08-26
Aam Panna (Raw Mango Cooler, Sweetened)
8–16g sugar per 1 glass (~200-240ml)
Source: Recipe nutrition estimates from two home recipes (~8g and ~16g sugar per glass) — the difference is how much sugar or jaggery the cook adds; raw mango itself contributes only a little. Total carbs: recipe estimate for boiled raw-mango pulp plus sweetener. GI: high — most of the carbohydrate is dissolved added sugar, with only a little fiber from the mango pulp. · last verified 2026-10-21
Citrus/Orange Carbonated Soft Drink
11.7–13.7g sugar per 100ml
Source: Official Indian-market manufacturer product data for citrus/orange-flavoured soft drinks — 11.7-13.7g sugar per 100ml. Total carbs: equal to total sugar — no starch component. GI: high — dissolved sugar in liquid form absorbs quickly, with no fiber to slow it. · last verified 2026-08-26
Cola (Carbonated Soft Drink)
10–11g sugar per 100ml
Source: Official Indian-market manufacturer product data for mainstream cola-type soft drinks — 10-11g sugar per 100ml. Total carbs: equal to total sugar — no starch component. GI: high — dissolved sugar in liquid form absorbs quickly, with no fiber to slow it. · last verified 2026-08-26
Mango Fruit Drink (Packaged, Sweetened)
13–16g sugar per 100ml
Source: Label-derived figures across several widely sold packaged mango drinks: ~13-16g total sugar per 100ml. One carton label discloses the split directly (~13.3g added + ~2.5g natural from mango pulp per 100ml), used here as the representative split. Total carbs: label-derived, essentially all sugar. GI: high — dissolved sugar in a drink with almost no fiber, fat, or protein. · last verified 2026-10-21
Rose Syrup Sherbet
23g sugar per 1 glass (30ml syrup + water)
Source: Retailer label listings for a widely sold rose-flavoured sherbet concentrate: ~23g sugar per 30ml serving; the syrup itself is roughly 68-72% sugar by weight. Mixing with water doesn't change the sugar per glass. Total carbs: label-derived, essentially all sugar. GI: high — a concentrated sugar syrup diluted in water. · last verified 2026-10-21
Sweet Nimbu Pani (Lemonade)
27–31g sugar per 1 glass (~240ml)
Source: Recipe nutrition estimates for a sweetened glass (~27g and ~31g from two recipe calculators) — sugar is added to taste, so this varies with the cook. Total carbs: essentially all added sugar plus a trace from the lemon. GI: high — dissolved sugar in water with no fiber, fat, or protein to slow it. · last verified 2026-10-21
