The Pornstar Martini is an alluring cocktail that blends tropical passionfruit with smooth vanilla vodka, topped off with a Prosecco shot on the side. Originally created by Douglas Ankrah, it has become a modern classic thanks to its vibrant flavors and playful presentation.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Vanilla Vodka – 50-60 ml (2 oz)
- Passionfruit Liqueur – 30 ml (1 oz)
- Lime Juice – 15-30 ml (0.5-1 oz)
- Vanilla Syrup – 15 ml (0.5 oz)
- Pineapple Juice or Passionfruit Purée – 30 ml (1 oz)
- Fresh Passionfruit – Half for garnish
- Prosecco or Sparkling Wine – 50-100 ml
- Ice – For shaking
Step-by-Step Instructions
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add half a passionfruit’s pulp to enhance flavor. Pour in the vanilla vodka, passionfruit liqueur, lime juice, vanilla syrup, and either pineapple juice or passionfruit purée, which helps create a frothy texture when shaken. Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds to blend the ingredients and create foam. Strain the mixture into a chilled martini or coupe glass, and float the other half of the passionfruit as a garnish. Serve the cocktail with a shot of chilled Prosecco or sparkling wine on the side.
Tips for the Perfect Drink
Adjust sweetness by varying the vanilla syrup. If vanilla vodka is unavailable, standard vodka can be used, but the vanilla variety adds depth. Pineapple juice can replace passionfruit purée for extra frothiness. Some people pour the Prosecco into the martini for a fizzy twist, while others prefer to sip it separately to cleanse the palate.
The Pornstar Martini isn’t just a cocktail but a sensory experience. The ritual of sipping Prosecco between martini sips—or mixing the bubbly right in—adds fun and sophistication. With its bright flavors and glamorous appeal, it’s perfect for celebrations and special occasions
