Popular Edinburgh cocktail bar hosting Breaking Bad pop-up with '99.1% pure' drinks

A popular Edinburgh cocktail bar are continuing their epic themed pop-ups in the form of a Breaking Bad event with special drinks and 'Los Pollos Hermanos' popcorn.

After impressing locals with previous themed events based on shows such as Stranger Things and Game of Thrones, they have now taken inspiration from one of the most critically-acclaimed show out there.

With their venue at The Arches on East Market Street currently undergoing a "huge" transformation, the special Breaking Bad event, named 'Crystal Blue', will take place at Summerhall Drinks Lab and launches on February 14, with tickets now on sale.

Each ticket will secure guests a drink upon entry, special themed popcorn and two cocktails from the new menu. Taking to Instagram to announce their latest pop-up, they said: "Breaking Bad inspired cocktails... You're goddamn right.

"Crystal Blue launches on February 14th. We're not in the cocktail business, we're in the empire business. While we build ourselves a brand new super-bar in the Arches, you can find us cooking up cocktails at Summerhall Drinks Lab.

"Serving Thursday - Sunday until the end of March. April dates TBC. Get your tickets now and enjoy a selection of 99.1% pure delicious drinks inspired by the dangerous world of Heisenberg. They're the Bomb, yo."

The cocktail menu for the event is yet to be released, but guests can expect plenty of mixes that look like they were served up inside completely legal chemistry lab and are as pure as they come.

As well as creating TV show-themed pop-ups, The Cocktail Geeks have also drawn inspiration from some of the highest grossing movie franchise of all time, with a Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and Indiana Jones event all previously being held.

One of their biggest and most popular pop-ups, based on the Netflix sensation Stranger Things, saw fans travel hundreds of miles just to experience the atmosphere of entering a real-life Hawkins and coming face to face with the dreaded Demogorgon.
