Moroccan Inspired Cocktail—Our Minty Marrakito Recipe
Hey, Honeys! How’s your life in lockdown been so far? We hope you’re all hanging in there!
Here at House of Notoire, we’ve been missing travel like crazy and reminiscing about our retreats in Marrakesh. The colorful surroundings mixed with indulgent sweet and savory flavors like juicy orange, spicy cinnamon, and refreshing mint. This cocktail took us right back to afternoons in the sunshine on the rooftop of our riad!
Ready to give it a try? We’re excited to share the recipe with you! Mix up a batch of our specialty Marrakito and join us for a trip down memory lane with this photo round up that our HONey and HONey Talks Co-Host Lily put together from our very first retreat in 2017.
