UK. Premium mixer brand Fever-Tree has opened a 51-seat bar and café featuring an eye-catching ‘tree canopy’ at Edinburgh Airport.
The brand said it expects to serve up over 40,000 mixed drinks to domestic and international passengers in its first year.
The drinks menu pairs Fever-Tree’s mixers with selected spirits. Various beer, wine and Champagne options are also on offer.
The food menu includes breakfast selections and small plates. Highlights include gin and whisky-cured smoked Scottish salmon and chorizo cooked in Fever-Tree’s Ginger Ale. The bar snacks include Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic-marinated olives.
Fever-Tree worked with well-known design firm Russell Sage Studio to create the bar. It features lighting and furnishings selected to create a relaxing and sophisticated atmosphere which brings nature into the venue.
Edinburgh Airport Chief Executive Gordon Dewar said: “Build back better they say. When our retailers had to close due to the pandemic, we focused on doing just that – and what’s better than welcoming new partners and new concepts to the airport to deliver a fantastic passenger experience? Adding Fever-Tree is the perfect tonic.”
Fever-Tree Co-Founder and CEO Tim Warrillow said: “Over a decade on from when we pioneered premium mixers, we continue to lead the way in elevating drinking experiences – this time at an international travel hub that is Edinburgh Airport, with our first-ever airport bar and café.”
He added: “We are looking forward to sharing more drinks with travellers from around the world as we embark on our journey to premiumise airport drinking and dining globally.”
The Fever-Tree Bar and Café is open daily at the airport from 4am-11pm.
