Do you think you know what Madar**** is? No, you don’t in all probability. Well, not in the pertinent context.

The India-esque beverage is made with chai, amaretto and bourbon among other ingredients. If you think something was lost in translation, you’d be left startled to hear that the move to name the concoction so was deliberate.

“Yes, we are certainly aware of the meaning. We would not imagine doing it in your country but Singapore is a multi-racial country with little bias and a wider berth when it comes to humour. We saw the humour in introducing an Indian inspired cocktail with a tongue-in-cheek name. It was never designed for an audience market based in India, nonetheless the conservatives of that market,” Equilibrium told BuzzFeed.



This is what the drink looks like:
