Pornstar Martini
A true icon of the modern cocktail era, the Pornstar Martini is a bold, fun, and irresistibly fruity drink. It's a vibrant blend of vanilla vodka and passion fruit, served with a celebratory shot of sparkling wine on the side.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ oz Vanilla Vodka
- ½ oz Passion Fruit Liqueur
- 1 oz Passion Fruit Purée
- ½ oz Fresh Lime Juice
- ½ oz Vanilla Syrup
- 2 oz Prosecco (chilled, for the side)
- Garnish: Half a Passion Fruit
Instructions
- Chill Your Glasses: Place a coupe or martini glass and a small shot glass in the freezer to get them ice-cold.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the vanilla vodka, passion fruit liqueur, passion fruit purée, lime juice, and vanilla syrup to a cocktail shaker.
- Shake Hard: Fill the shaker with ice, seal tightly, and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds. A hard shake is key to creating the drink's signature light, airy foam.
- Double Strain: Empty the ice from your chilled coupe glass. Double-strain the cocktail into the glass to ensure a perfectly smooth, velvety texture.
- Garnish: Gently float half a fresh passion fruit, cut-side up, on top of the foam.
- Serve the Sidecar: Pour the chilled Prosecco into your chilled shot glass and serve it alongside the cocktail.
Pro Tips for Perfection
The Prosecco Shot: How do you drink it? There are two main schools of thought. Some prefer to sip it alternately with the cocktail, using the dry bubbles to cleanse the palate between sweet, fruity sips. Others choose to pour the shot directly into the cocktail to add effervescence. There's no wrong way—it's all about the experience!
Passion Fruit Purée is Key: For the most authentic and vibrant flavor, use a good quality passion fruit purée, which is thicker and more intense than passion fruit juice. This is essential for both the taste and the texture of the cocktail.
