El Morocco Inn and Spa’s Morocco-Tini

 

El Morocco Inn & Spa Martini Time

Sometimes this Wine Chix has to step outside the barrel and tip her toe into a martini.  There’s no better way to do that then to stay in a private luxury getaway in the dessert. The El Morocco Inn & Spa is a Moroccan inspired luxury inn in Desert Hot Springs, CA. run by owner  Bruce Abney , one of the most gregarious inn keepers I have ever met.  A day here is not only going to provide relaxation via the natural hot mineral water pool and spa, custom “Dream Deeply” beds, exotic textiles and furnishings — but when the evening rolls around… charm and deliciousness is the order of the evening.  Between the delightful Bruce and the Inn’s signature cocktail, “The Morocco-tini” you’ll be raising a glass to pure relaxation. And hey…make sure you ask Bruce for the Sultan’s Tent Tour. It’s another “insiders” treat you won’t want to miss.

Compliments of El Morocco Inn & Spa
First, sugar the rims of the Martini glasses by slicing an orange and running it around the rim of the glasses, then dip in a plate of sugar-adding a slice of the orange onto the rim.
In a Martin Shaker add:
1 Part Orange Juice
1 Part Cranberry Juice
1 Part Lemon Seltzer (Use a can of Lemon Squirt-it will do nicely!)
1 Part Sake
A Splash of Sweet Vermouth
Shake contents in Martin shaker (be careful or it will pop the top off!) and pour over iced, sugar rimmed Martini glasses for that perfect not-too-heavy cocktail!
