Pornstar Martini
Pornstar Martini
The Pornstar Martini is a cocktail made with vanilla flavored vodka, Passoã (passion fruit liqueur), passion fruit purée and vanilla sugar. It is fruity and sweet, often served with a sidecar of chilled Prosecco or Champagne. The sidecar is meant to be sipped alongside the cocktail to balance its sweetness, as the wine’s crisp acidity and bubbles cut through the rich texture of passion fruit and vanilla. Created in London in 2002 by Douglas Ankrah, the Pornstar Martini is not a true martini, but one of many drinks that incorporate the term “martini” into their names.
