Raise a glass to World Martini Day
World Martini Day is here, and Glasgow and Edinburgh have got something special lined up for gin lovers. If you’re the type to celebrate each occasion with a themed drink, then the Downpour Trail is your best bet for this spirited event. Enjoy a variety of imaginative martinis and favourite cocktails across both cities, bringing together communities of gin enthusiasts.
Discover the Downpour Trail
This year, the Downpour Trail is the highlight, honouring one of Scotland's most intriguing spirits, Downpour Gin. Distilled in the stunning Hebrides, this Scottish Dry Gin is both complex and flavourful — bursting with citrus notes, fragrant spices, and the essence of wild Hebridean heather. It’s gin that doesn’t simply whisper; it shouts big flavours that dance on your palate.
Participating venues across Glasgow
Have you checked out what’s on offer? In Glasgow, bars like The Absent Ear, Five March, and Roots Cocktail Bar are contributing signature drinks that will make you reconsider what a martini can be. Each venue brings its own unique twist, so whether you fancy something classic or are up for an adventure, there’s something for everyone.
Edinburgh's finest stops
Not to be outdone, Edinburgh is equally ready to wow you. Consider popping into The Devil’s Advocate or Dragonfly to find imaginative cocktails that embody the spirit of this grand day. The Raging Bull is also on the list, promising to serve up drinks that are bold and refreshing with their own unique flair. Make sure you capture your favourite moments with a snap of your distinguished drink and perhaps score yourself a Downpour hamper!
