Moroccan Cocktail Recipe
Using Charbay as its base, a Moroccan cocktail is an exotic and heady blend that is sure to thrill those who prefer to be adventurous with their choice of drink. Containing characteristic Moroccan tastes, the cocktail is infused with the flavours of cardamom and lemon, with the base of Charbay pomegranate vodka being further enhanced by the addition of pomegranate puree.
Fragrant and unforgettable, a Moroccan cocktail is best served in a chilled martini glass, with a lemon wedge for garnish – the brilliant combination of the ruby red cocktail and the bright yellow lemon lends immense visual appeal to this drink. While it is perfect for a hot summer day, a Moroccan cocktail is not restricted by season, and can be enjoyed pretty much all year round. In addition, it also serves as a fantastic start to an exotic Moroccan meal.
