The Madras Vodka Drink is a delicious and easy-to-make cocktail made up of three ingredients. Its counterpart, the Sea Breeze Cocktail is a sweeter version of it.

How to Make a Madras Drink

The Madras is a simple vodka-based drink that combines three basic ingredients: vodka, Orange Juice, and Cranberry Juice. I’ve specified the quantities below in the recipe card, but to get started, make sure you have these available.

To make this drink, combine the vodka, orange juice, and cranberry juice in a glass with ice and stir with your bar spoon. Garnish and serve.

Madras Drink – Tips and Tricks

  1. I recommend freshly squeezed orange juice as it tends to be better and makes a difference in the drink.
  2. A lime or orange slice works as a garnish. Go with whatever you prefer.
  3. You can get great straws to use with the drink from your local dollar store. These particular ones look great and cost next to nothing for a large bag.
