Pornstar Martini — 2000s club banger became a legitimate cocktail by

The Pornstar Martini sounds like a joke cocktail, but it’s become one of the most ordered drinks in London bars. This 2000s creation proved that sometimes the most ridiculous name wins.

Ingredients

• 2 oz premium vodka
• 1 oz passion fruit liqueur like Passoã
• 1 oz vanilla simple syrup
• 1 oz fresh lime juice for brightness
• Garnish: half an ounce of fresh lime juice for brightness
• Prosecco (on the side)

Method

Grab your shaker and add the vodka, passion fruit liqueur, vanilla syrup, and lime juice. Fill with ice and shake hard for 15 seconds — you want this ice cold and properly diluted. Double strain into a chilled coupe using both your hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer. The double strain is crucial here because passion fruit can be pulpy, and you want a silky smooth texture. Serve the prosecco in a separate shot glass alongside the cocktail. The idea is to sip the martini, then cleanse your palate with the prosecco, then repeat.

Serve

Serve this up in a coupe with no ice. Float half a passion fruit on top as garnish — cut it in half and scoop out the pulp with a spoon. The prosecco comes in its own shot glass on the side.

Pro Tip

The vanilla syrup makes all the difference here. If you only have regular simple syrup, add a quarter teaspoon of vanilla extract to half an ounce of simple — it won’t be quite the same, but it’s close enough. Some bartenders muddle fresh passion fruit instead of using liqueur, but the liqueur gives you consistency and the right sweetness level every time.
