This is MadCru

Madeline Cruz is a native of the Chicagoland area, born and raised in Humboldt Park / Logan Square to Puerto Rican parents.

Madeline is an entrepreneur who began her passion for the arts of mixology over 30 years ago. Her dedication was inspired by the work ethic of her father who after his full time job sold piragua and then went on to sell helado de coco in Humboldt Park on the weekends. He was a proud member of the Cocineros Unidos of Humboldt Park and taught Madeline how to make Coquito which was passed on by his father.

Motivated by her friends and the community, Madeline established MadCru Sangria LLC in 2011. MadCru focuses on making Puerto Rican Sangria and for the holidays her Coquito Navideño.

MadCru has grown exponentially from its humble beginnings as the community has embraced the unique flavors offered.

Madeline's passion is for the public to enjoy a Taste of the Tropics!
