The bar dedicated to the hugely popular espresso martini will open its doors in Edinburgh on Friday 27th August
Cocktail lovers in the capital have just one more sleep left until Insomnia Espresso Martini Bar opens in Edinburgh on Friday 27th August with the largest range of espresso martinis in Scotland.
The bar located within the Assembly Rooms on Edinburgh’s prestigious George Street, will launch with a menu of 20 different serves of espresso martini. Insomnia is located beside the recently opened Stack & Still pancake house in what used to be the Jamie’s Italian restaurant on Rose Street.
First established in Glasgow in October 2020, Insomnia will celebrate its launch in the capital with some special Edinburgh-inspired serves including the One O’Clock Gun, which features Ketel One, Edinburgh Castle rock, mixed berry infused vodka, Mr Black Coffee Liqueur, Cold Brew and is topped with a smoked cloud.
Other serves include the House espresso martini, which includes Belvedere vodka, cold brew espresso, maple syrup and Kahlua coffee liqueur, to the more adventurous Pina Cortada, which features Tanqueray Gin, pineapple syrup, fresh espresso and coconut milk.
Each week delicious new coffee-fuelled additions will be added to the menu and the bar team aim to have a selection of 50 espresso martinis in place by the end of the year.
The coffee featured in Insomnia’s serves is all roasted in-house. The team sources organic Arabica coffee from El Botan Farm in Colombia and roasts a batch of beans every day to create a rich, dark and exceptionally fresh blend.
Some of the serves on the menu are available with decaf coffee, while the bar also serves a range of other drinks such as beer, cider, wine and various spirits and soft drinks. A selection of food will be added later in the year - from sweet pancakes to a range of fries and bites plus an array of affogatos.
Insomnia will be open from 5pm until late every Friday and Saturday evening until the end of October, then opening will extend to four nights a week from Thursday – Sunday. Table booking can be made online and walk-ins are welcome.
Paul Reynolds, co-founder and chief executive, said: “We are extremely excited to be launching the capital’s first dedicated espresso martini bar. The popularity of the espresso martini is skyrocketing, and, like our pancakes, we want to be at the forefront of that revolution. Our menu is filled with many unique flavour combinations and we will be keeping customers on their toes with the introduction of new flavours every week.”
He continued: “The Coronavirus pandemic has had a significant impact on the city’s hospitality sector so we are eager to do our bit to help get it back up and running - that means creating a space our customers will love, opening up new jobs in the sector and of course, serving plenty of delicious espresso martinis.”
The launch of Insomnia comes hot on the heels of the opening of Stack & Still pancake house which opened its doors in July.
