Pornstar Martini – one of the most popular cocktails around, made with vanilla vodka and passion fruit, and not without reason.
I had my first Pornstar Martini in Cannes, and it was really my love of passion fruit that meant I simply had to try it – and yes, the name certainly didn’t make it any less intriguing. I’m not usually a great fan of sweet cocktails, but I had to make an exception for this one.
And yes, it is on the sweet side – but that is exactly what makes it so good. At the same time it has a fresh, slightly tart edge that gives it a really pleasing balance. If you’d like it less sweet, you can always adjust with a little extra lime juice.
It’s a cocktail with plenty of personality – in both flavour and looks – not least thanks to the iconic shot of champagne served alongside, which makes it that bit more festive.
There are many ways to serve and drink a Pornstar Martini. Some serve the champagne as a shot on the side, others add it straight into the drink – and some do both. There is no one right way, so this is very much a question of taste and preference.
The same goes for how you drink it – whether you take a bite of the passion fruit first, follow with the champagne and then the drink, or sip them all alongside each other. Do whatever suits you best.
The cocktail is classically made with vanilla vodka, but if you can’t get hold of it, you can easily use plain vodka with a little vanilla sugar added or, better still, flavoured to taste with vanilla syrup – it works really well and still gives that lovely, rounded flavour.
