Fresh passion fruit can be a little tricky and a little expensive compared to other options, but they are delicious! Look for them in your exotic produce section.

Can’t find the fresh fruit? Look for a passion fruit puree. A juice could work, however they are typically mainly a different fruit and a lot of sugar. The closest you can get to the fresh fruit the better.

Passoa is a passion fruit liqueur which adds to the flavor, but the fresh fruit still shines through.

Instruction Overview

How do you make Pornstar Martini? First scoop out some of the fruit from the rind and put it in a cocktail shaker with some ice.

Add the vanilla vodka, passoa liqueur, simple syrup, and lime juice. Shake until really cold.

Strain into the martini glass and add a half of a passion fruit to float on top.

Serve alongside a tall shot of prosecco sparkling wine.

What in the World is with the Name?

I thought the same thing…strange name for a cocktail!

But the name has nothing to do with porn stars.

The name “pornstar martini” was chosen to evoke a sense of indulgence and seduction, and to challenge traditional cocktail naming conventions. It was intended to be bold, daring, and provocative, much like the world of adult entertainment it references.

The origins of the pornstar martini can be traced back to the early 2000s in London, England. It was created by renowned mixologist Douglas Ankrah, who was looking to develop a cocktail that would stand out from the crowd.

Serving the Martini

There are a couple specific suggestions for serving this Porn Star Martini.

First, it is served up in a coupe glass. Coupe glasses are traditionally meant for sparkling wine. Which, funny enough, is served alongside the drink but in a cordial glass. Just breaking all the rules here!

Also, there is supposed to be a half of a passion fruit floating in the drink. Seems a little unnecessary with how expensive passion fruit can be, but it is oh-so-pretty!

How to Drink Pornstar Martini

How do you drink a Pornstar Martini? The “original” way to drink this was by going back and forth between the cocktail and the sparkling wine.

However it is very common that people decide to dump the sparkling wine into the martini itself.

Do whatever sounds yummy!

Modifications and Substitutions

A fresh passion fruit can be difficult to come by, and sometimes expensive. Cut back on the amount you use by substituting passion fruit puree for what is mixed in the shaker, and you can also skip the floating fruit half.

Prosecco is a sweet sparkling wine from Italy. You can swap it out for any sparkling wine (sweet is better than brut/dry).

No vanilla vodka? You can use regular with a very small dash of vanilla extract.

Kim’s Tips

The main passion fruit martini can be made in advance, but do not pour the prosecco until serving so that it stays bubbly.

There are many ways to swap out ingredients to make this cocktail more budget friendly. See the modifications and substitutions section for more details.
