Espresso martini bar opens in Edinburgh

A bar offering the largest range of espresso martinis in Scotland has opened in Edinburgh. 

Insomnia Espresso Martini Bar is located next to the recently opened Stack & Still pancake house within the Assembly Rooms on Edinburgh’s George Street, and features a menu of 20 different serves of espresso martini. 

First established in Glasgow in October 2020, Insomnia celebrated the 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.

The plan is to add a new espresso martini each week, with the bar team aiming to have a selection of 50 in place by the end of the year. 

“We are extremely excited to be launching the capital’s first dedicated espresso martini bar," says Paul Reynolds, co-founder and chief executive. "The popularity of the espresso martini is skyrocketing and 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."
