The Madras cocktail is a simple yet refreshing drink that gained popularity in the late 20th century, particularly in the United States. Named after the Indian city of Madras (now Chennai), known for its vividly colored fabrics, the cocktail reflects this vibrancy with its blend of cranberry juice, orange juice, and vodka. This mix creates a visually appealing drink with a tart and sweet flavour profile. The rise of vodka’s popularity in the West during this time played a significant role in the cocktail’s emergence. The Madras is typically served in a highball glass over ice and garnished with a lime or orange wedge. It’s known for being easy to make and is a popular choice for summer gatherings, though it can be enjoyed year-round. Over the years, the Madras has seen various adaptations, but the classic combination remains a timeless favourite.
