The Brera district, located in the heart of Milan, takes its name from the term “braida”—meaning an expanse of uncultivated land—and is characterized today by narrow cobblestone streets and magnificent courtyards.

Since the 19th century, it has been a destination for artists attending the Academy of Fine Arts—established in 1776 by Empress Maria Theresa of Austria and today one of the world’s most important art schools. This helped make Brera famous as a gathering place for artists, a district that still retains an evocative, artistic atmosphere.

“Timeless Charm” is a reimagining of the classic Old Fashioned—an after-dinner drink that, much like the Brera district, retains a timeless allure and elegance despite centuries of history. The cocktail features warm, pleasing notes of cocoa, coconut, and tonka bean, perfectly blended with gin botanicals and orange & mandarin bitters.
