Madras Drink Ingredients

This cranberry cocktail recipe takes only 3 ingredients, with only one being booze. Drinks with minimal ingredients are our specialty. The madras drink is typically served in a highball glass, but we use the glass we’re in the mood for. Some days a pink martini glass is calling out our name, so we go with it.Here’s all you need to make this cocktail:

• Vodka
• Cranberry Juice
• Orange Juice
• Optional: Fresh Lime Juice

When To Serve The Madras Drink

So. Many. Options.

• Birthday bashes
• Baby showers
• Bachelorette party
• On a random Friday night…just because
• Sunday Funday brunch
• Graduation parties
• Christmas parties – add a bit of cranberry simple syrup to amp up the red color.

Madras Cocktail Tips

• This cocktail recipe is easy to scale up and make a “party punch”. No edits to the proportions are needed. Just throw them all into a pitcher and pour over ice when ready to party!
• Use fresh squeezed orange juice for the best quality.
• Make sure you use sweetened cranberry juice as unsweetened cranberry juice will be too tart.
• Madras drink garnish ideas: hibiscus, lime wheel, dried orange slices or dried lime slices

Recipe Variations

• Cape Codder-  Remove the orange juice and lime. No replacements needed.
