Drinc. different

This is Luca Marcellin's second Milanese venue, a partner here with Desirèe Brunet, after drinc. Cocktail & Conversation. The neighborhood is still Porta Venezia, and the mixology is as high-quality as at the first cocktail bar. This time, however, the idea—developed by senior bartender Simone Rancati and junior bartender Alessandro Buggini—is to offer something, as the name suggests, different: a new take on the speakeasy. The exclusivity is even greater—there are only 18 seats—and the spaces are extremely elegant, thanks to the choice of velvet, metal, and vibrant colors. The drinks list's unique feature is the presence of four specials that change every quarter and a different cocktail each month. The focus on the bottle shop isn't on a specific spirit, but on the product's high quality.
