Tips To Make Madras Drink
✅ One important tip is that your choice of Cranberry juice is equally as important as the Vodka itself.
✅ If you are going for bottled Cranberry juice that is sweeter, your Cocktail is also sweeter and light pink in color. This may not be a big problem if you are ok with your drink being sweet.
✅ However, if you would like to have a true vodka-cranberry drink that is unsweetened, go for freshly made cranberry juice. You can also add sweet to this to the level you want with Simple syrup.
✅ And the color is brighter as well with unsweetened fresh cranberry juice.
✅ Also, make the Orange juice fresh, as it gives a fresh taste, than bottled juices.
✅ Serve them Cold by preparing the cocktail well ahead of time before a party, so your friends can have them as a Punch.
✅ Of course, you can add Club Soda or Sparkling water to make it Sparkling, just as good for occasions.
