Amazing things await drink lovers at the Mandarin Oriental Milan. The new Mirabilia menu turns the art of cocktails into a collection of wonders to savour. Eight signature creations – each a tribute to a secret garden in the world – compose a sensory journey conceived by Guglielmo Miriello, Director of Mandarin Garden, and Bar Manager Gaetano Ascone.
Mirabilia, the Journey Of The Mandarin Garden
Harmony Elixir
Resembling a refined botany manual, the menu recalls age-old scientific texts. Escape, the first cocktail on the list, is dedicated to the secret oasis of the Mandarin Oriental Milan. Served on a wooden pedestal with a hidden drawer, the glass emanates a pine fragrance.
Majorelle, meanwhile, is inspired by the Marrakech villa and park of painter Jacques Majorelle, which were also cherished by Yves Saint-Laurent. Each drink comes with a description that transports guests to the garden of inspiration, continuing the journey of the Mandarin Garden: an adventure that starts with a cocktail but promises to last well beyond the final sip.
