Madras

2 parts Vodka (go for the good stuff. not that sky or absolut junk)
2 parts OJ
Splash of cranberry.

now I usually add just a touch more cranberry when it's hot.. don't ask me why, it just seems to go better with the heat. I'm very rarely drinking a cocktail anymore, but this one has never failed me or anyone else that I've made it for yet.

If you don't like the taste (taste?) of regular vodka, then go with Ketel One Citroen. It has a citrus background to it and completely masks the bite.. which is why I personally won't drink it, but alot of people don't like the bite.
I always drink Ketel One or Grey Goose when I'm drinking a martini or a vodka with (little) tonic. However, I have a hard time telling the difference btwn the good stuff and the average stuff when I'm mixing it with juices. Is there that much of a difference? I have a similar philosophy with my winter drink: bourbon with a splash on ice. Always go with Woodford or Knob Creek. However, seems crazy to use such a premium bourbon in bourbon and cokes. That is what Jim Beam is for. What do you think? Thanks.

This is what everyone is drinking at my pool right now. Everyone seems to like it.

Rum = REALLY Bad Hangover
