Head to head
Bay Breeze and Madras side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference
Vodka and cranberry in both, two cousins of the Cape Codder: the Bay Breeze adds pineapple juice, the Madras orange juice. The Madras pours more of everything, so it holds more alcohol and calories.
By the numbers
The Bay Breeze uses pineapple juice where the Madras uses orange juice; both have vodka and cranberry juice. In parts, a Bay Breeze is 1½ vodka, 2¼ cranberry and 1 pineapple; a Madras is 1 vodka, 1½ cranberry and 1 orange. By volume, the Bay Breeze is 70% mixer and juice and 30% spirit; the Madras is 71% mixer and juice and 29% spirit. That makes them close cousins on the ratio map.
They are about equally strong in the glass (8.4% and 8.0% ABV), but the Madras is the bigger drink, so it holds more alcohol (1.35 standard drinks against 1.13). The Madras has more calories (about 213 against 176) and more sugar (16.7 g against 13.9 g). Both are shaken and served in a highball.
