Pornstar martinis are one of the UK’s favourite alcoholic drinks, and it’s not hard to see why. This intensely flavoured passionfruit drink is made from an exciting mix of vanilla vodka, Passoa, and lime juice with a shot of prosecco on the side. Express.co.uk talks you through BBC Good Food’s pornstar martini recipe.
Why is it called a pornstar martini?
The pornstar martini was created in 2002 by famous bartender Douglas Ankrah.
He invented the cocktail at The Townhouse Bar in Knightsbridge, London, initially calling it the ‘Maverick Martini’ after a gentleman’s club in Cape Town.
Mr Ankrah later changed its name to the Pornstar, and it became a total hit.
In an interview with The Buyer, he said: “The drink is very evocative and tantalising.
“I called it Pornstar because I thought it was something that a Pornstar would drink, there’s nothing sexual there.”

Step four
Add the passionfruit juice, vodka, passoa, lime juice and sugar syrup into a cocktail shaker.
Step five
Fill the shaker up halfway with ice, put the lid on and shake the mixture for at least 30 seconds.
Step six
Some cocktail shakers have a built-in strainer, but if yours doesn’t use a coiled strainer and strain the drink into the cold martini glasses.
If you used ice to chill the glasses, get rid of the ice before pouring the drinks.
Step seven
Garnish the drinks with half a passionfruit, and top it up with prosecco.
Alternatively, each drink should come with a shot of prosecco.
If you aren’t a fan of prosecco, you could opt for champagne.
