The Madras | Vodka cocktail

So you might have heard about cocktails named after cities and places like the Manhattan, Singapore sling and even the Americano. But did you know there is a cocktail named after our very own Indian city, that too my own city. The city of MADRAS! (Now Chennai)

As with any great cocktail there is more than one story associated with it. I'm just gonna share with you what I feel it's more convincing. History has it that the British who occupied India really loved their alcohol but it was a social evil among Indians to consume alcohol. So Indians masked the alcoholic beverages with fruit juices and thus the MADRAS COCKTAIL WAS BORN!

For this you'll need,

2 Oz vodka
3 Oz pomegranate or cranberry juice
2 Oz of orange juice
Little bit of lime juice if you need it

Add ice to your Collins glass and all the ingredients one after the other. Give it a quick stir and garnish it with two lime wedges. 

Cheers!!!
