Head to head
Madras and Seven and Seven side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference, by the numbers
They have no ingredient in common: the Madras has vodka, cranberry juice and orange juice, the Seven and Seven American blended whiskey and lemon-lime soda. In parts, a Madras is 1 vodka, 1½ cranberry and 1 orange; a Seven and Seven is 1 whiskey and 3½ lemon-lime soda. By volume, the Madras is 71% mixer and juice and 29% spirit; the Seven and Seven is 77% mixer and juice and 23% spirit. Different bottles, similar balance: that makes them close cousins on the ratio map.
The Seven and Seven is the stronger drink in the glass (9.0% 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 163), with about the same sugar (16.7 g and 16.2 g). Both are served in a highball; the Madras is shaken, the Seven and Seven built.
