Madras Cocktail
This Madras cocktail couldn't be any easier. Just 3 ingredients stirred together, and you've got a delicious, refreshing mixer ready to go.
Servings: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 4 oz cranberry-pomegranate juice, any cran blend works, but I like the darker red of cranberry-pomegranate
- 1 ½ oz vodka
- 1 oz orange juice, no pulp
- orange slices, optional garnish
- fresh cranberries, optional garnish
Instructions
- In a tall glass or stemware of your choice, combine all ingredients and stir well. Alternatively, ingredients can also be combined in a cocktail shaker and shake to combine.
- Chill until ready to serve. When ready to serve, add ice cubes. Garnish with orange slices and fresh cranberries, if desired.
Notes
- Use chilled juices and vodka to keep the drink crisp without needing too much ice.
- Shake the ingredients in a cocktail shaker if you prefer a slightly frothy texture and colder sip.
- Choose no-pulp orange juice for a smooth, clean finish that blends easily with the cranberry.
- Adjust the juice ratio to taste - more cranberry for tartness or more orange for sweetness.
- Garnish right before serving so the fruit looks fresh and vibrant.
- For a lighter version, top the drink with a splash of sparkling water or club soda.
- Make a pitcher for parties by mixing everything ahead and adding ice just before serving.
- This recipe is part of our Cocktail Recipes Collection.
- We love serving it alongside light party appetizers such as our Cranberry Brie Bites or Brie and Fig Crostini.
