Published on April 30, 2024

The Four Seasons Resort Marrakech has unveiled a new collection of signature cocktails, each steeped in the rich heritage of Morocco. Crafted to capture the enchanting aromas of the souks, the vibrant hues of ancient cities, the spice-laden air, and Morocco’s age-old cultural legacy, these cocktails are not merely drinks but artistic expressions. They represent a profound engagement with the sensory delights of Morocco, with resort mixologists expertly blending local ingredients to forge outstanding drinks. Each cocktail, from mint tea infusions to the subtle rose accents of far-flung oases, invites guests on a sensorial tour of Morocco.

At the Inara lounge, centrally located within the resort and operational throughout the day, the cocktails are a deep dive into Moroccan culture. For example, the Qahwa M’aatra reimagines traditional Moroccan spiced coffee with added rum and amaretto. The Fruits of the Valley encapsulates the essence of the Atlas valleys, combining rum with fresh local fruits for an authentic taste adventure through the region’s verdant landscapes. Meanwhile, the Cobalt Oasis uniquely blends almond milk, dates, and curaçao in a blue tea glass, offering an exotic taste reminiscent of Morocco’s mystical deserts.

Near the poolside, Azzera restaurant bar’s relaxed ambiance is the perfect backdrop for sipping innovative, cooling cocktails. The Pear Spritz mixes the sweet flavor of pear with a zesty twist, ideal for cooling off in the Marrakech heat. The Margarita Solari is a daring twist on the classic, infusing Moroccan orange and bitter orange blossom for a burst of local flavor. The Basil Smash is an inventive concoction that combines grape, apple, and fresh herbs from the Fes region, recalling the lush orchards of this historic area.

In the evening, the Quattro bar and restaurant blends the stylish sophistication of Italy with the warm allure of Marrakech through its cocktails. The Ochre Negroni, for instance, is a robust combination of Campari, orange blossom, and gin that captures both the classic Italian taste and the sunny Moroccan ambiance. The Melon Spritz offers a refreshing mix of fresh melon and prosecco, perfect for the warm evenings, while the Sgroppino merges vodka, date syrup, lemon, Italian wine, and passion fruit sorbet for a complete flavorful experience.

High up at Zest, with its panoramic views of the lush gardens and the snowy Atlas Mountains, cocktail creativity reaches new heights. The Atlas cocktail, served in a Moroccan teapot, boldly combines spicy bourbon with sweet dates, juicy figs, fresh lemon, mint, and a hint of geranium, inviting guests on a flavorful journey. The Menara is a subtle mix of gin, white vermouth, lemon juice, apple juice, and elderflower liqueur, radiating elegance and freshness. For those seeking a thrill, the Harissa Bloody Mary blends Moroccan Taktouka with vodka, cumin, and tangy local fruits for a spicy, vibrant drink.

At the heart of the Red City and surrounded by 40 acres of verdant gardens, Four Seasons Resort Marrakech is dedicated to providing its guests with unique and memorable experiences, whether through its inspired cocktails, exquisite dining options, or the overall ambiance of a stay filled with discovery and luxury.
