Origin of the Pornstar Martini
The Pornstar Martini was created in 2002 by Douglas Ankrah, a renowned bartender from London. Ankrah was inspired by the flavors of passion fruit and vanilla, aiming to create a cocktail that was both exotic and enticing. The name “Pornstar Martini” was intended to reflect the bold, glamorous, and slightly risqué nature of the drink. Despite its provocative name, the cocktail has become a staple in bars across the UK and beyond, celebrated for its vibrant flavor and unique presentation.

Pour in the vanilla vodka, passion fruit liqueur, lime juice, and vanilla syrup.
Step 3: Shake It Up
Add a handful of ice cubes to the shaker, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well mixed and chilled.

Tips and Variations
Tips:
- For a sweeter drink, adjust the amount of vanilla syrup to your preference.
- Ensure your martini glass is well chilled before serving for the best experience.
- Passion Fruit Liqueur, such as Passoa. There aren’t many passion fruit liquor alternatives to Passoa but you might want to try this Boe Passion Gin which would replace both the vodka and the Passoa in this cocktail recipe.
Variations:
- Tropical Twist: Add a splash of pineapple juice for an extra tropical flavor.
- Spicy Kick: Infuse the vodka with a slice of jalapeño for a spicy version of the Pornstar Martini.
- Non-Alcoholic Version: Substitute the vodka and passion fruit liqueur with passion
- fruit juice and vanilla extract for a mocktail version.
Serving Suggestions
The Pornstar Martini is best enjoyed immediately after preparation while it’s still cold. The shot of prosecco served on the side can be sipped in between sips of the martini or poured into the cocktail for added effervescence. For an extra touch of elegance, consider serving with a sugared rim on the martini glass.
