The O Madras cocktail is a vibrant and fruity mix that tantalizes the palate with a combination of citrus and berry flavors. Made with orange juice, cranberry juice, and orange rum, it's a refreshing choice for a sunny afternoon or a casual gathering. The inclusion of orange rum adds an extra layer of depth to the drink's citrus profile, while the cranberry juice imparts a tart and slightly sweet counterbalance that is characteristic of the classic Madras cocktail. Typically served in a highball glass, the O Madras presents a colorful and enticing appearance, often garnished with a maraschino cherry and a slice of orange to enhance its visual appeal as well as its taste.

Serving suggestions icon

What is the best way to serve O Madras?

O Madras is best served cold in a highball glass. Ensure both the orange juice and cranberry juice are chilled before mixing. Adding ice to the glass before pouring in the mixed ingredients will keep the cocktail cold and refreshing. Serve immediately after mixing.
