Head to head
Madras and Screwdriver side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference
Vodka and orange juice in both. The Madras adds cranberry juice, which makes it tart, pink and much bigger; the Screwdriver is just the two.
By the numbers
Both have vodka and orange juice. Only the Madras has cranberry juice. In parts, a Madras is 1 vodka, 1½ cranberry and 1 orange; a Screwdriver is 1 vodka and 2 orange. By volume, the Madras is 71% mixer and juice and 29% spirit; the Screwdriver is 67% mixer and juice and 33% spirit.
The Screwdriver is the stronger drink in the glass (12.1% ABV against 8.0%), 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 158) and more sugar (16.7 g against 8.8 g). Both are served in a highball; the Madras is shaken, the Screwdriver built.
