History
The history of the Insomniac cocktail isn't widely documented, but it seems to be a modern creation inspired by the popularity of coffee-based cocktails like the Espresso Martini. Its name likely reflects the energising effect of coffee in the drink, making it a favourite for late-night gatherings or those who enjoy a caffeine kick with their alcohol.
