Head to head
Madras and Moscow Mule side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference, by the numbers
Both have vodka. Only the Madras has cranberry juice and orange juice; only the Moscow Mule has ginger beer and lime juice. In parts, a Madras is 1 vodka, 1½ cranberry and 1 orange; a Moscow Mule is 1 vodka, 2¾ ginger beer and ¼ lime. By volume, the Madras is 71% mixer and juice and 29% spirit; the Moscow Mule is 68% mixer and juice, 26% spirit and 6% citrus. That makes them close cousins on the ratio map.
The Moscow Mule is the stronger drink in the glass (9.4% ABV against 8.0%), but the Madras is the bigger drink, so it holds more alcohol (1.35 standard drinks against 1.01). The Madras has more calories (about 213 against 150) and more sugar (16.7 g against 12.2 g). The Madras is shaken and served in a highball; the Moscow Mule is built and served in a copper mug.
