Notes
1. What should I do if the flavor of my Madras is too sour?
Perhaps the cranberry juice overpowers the other elements. Supplement the recipe with orange juice to reduce tartness. In order to balance out the sourness, this contributes to sweetness. Add a little simple syrup or a less sour cranberry juice blend to sweeten the drink to your liking.
2. The cocktail is not strong enough.
A Madras drink may taste weak if the vodka is poor or the juice-to-vodka ratio is excessive. Use a high-quality vodka that creates a clean, smooth base without dominating the drink. For a stronger drink without too much alcohol, add extra vodka. Always make sure to taste as you modify in order to find the ideal balance.
3. The cocktail tastes flat
Using store-bought, condensed juices or low-quality vodka might make a Madras lack depth. Use premium vodka and fresh orange juice to enhance the flavor. A dash of lime juice or orange liqueur adds richness and flavor. Garnish the cocktail with a fresh orange wheel or mint sprig for scent.
