THE TEMPLES OF THE COCKTAIL MARTINI

 

 

 

La Sultana, Marrakech

 


'La Sultana' deep in the centre of Marrakech, is an extraordinarily fascinating hotel. The antique walls doors, carpets, mosiacs of this ancient structure have been comprehensively restored and upgraded to make it one of the most spectacular hotels that I have ever seen. The view from the top terrasse, at dusk, is enchanting......

 


It is therefore even more stupefying that they cannot keep in their freezer a bottle (not only of gin, not even of any vodka) for a decent Martini; when they try to make one, the temperature is warm, the glass is tiny and the olive is stoned. Far from being amongst the best Martinis in the world, maybe one of the worst. One must admit, though, that this extraordinary scenery soothes the delusion somehow
