What’s in a Pornstar Martini

How to drink a Porn Star Martini
The first time I was presented with one I was a bit perplexed by the shot served on the side. According to the creator you were supposed to scoop out and eat the passion fruit garnish, drink the Prosecco, then sip the cocktail at your leisure.I have to say that sparkling wine doesn’t really lend itself to drinking as a shot! I have seen plenty of people pour the Prosecco into the martini, and usually do this myself.
Make the PERFECT Pornstar Martini!
USING FRESH PASSION FRUIT One large passion fruit contains approximately one tablespoon of strained juice and two tablespoons of pulp. Passion fruit with slightly wrinkly skin are a little sweeter than the smoother ones. If you can only find smooth ones then store them for a couple of days until the skin gets all crinkly!
You can add the pulp of the passion fruit directly into your shaker instead of extracting the juice first. Make sure to double strain the drink using a cocktail strainer when serving.

Ingrédients
- 4 fresh passion fruit aproximately 60ml /2 fl oz of juice
- 2 ounces sparkling wine, chilled
- 100 ml 3 ½ fl oz Vodka or Vanilla vodka
- chilled Champagne or Prosecco to serve on the side
- Drop of vanilla extract (leave out if using Vanilla vodka)/ or 1/2 ounce vanilla simple syrup

Instructions
- Put two martini glasses in the freezer to chill.
- Slice the passion fruit and scoop out the seeds into a small sieve set over your cocktail shaker. Press on the seeds with the back of a spoon to extract the juice. For a lazier option scoop the passion fruit fresh directly into the shaker.
- Half fill your cocktail shaker with cubed ice. Add the vodka, passionfruit liqueur lime juice, sugar syrup, vanilla extract and shake hard for 30 seconds.
- Dip a straw into your drink and have a taste. Is it too sweet or too sour? Adjust by adding lime juice or sugar syrup as needed.
- Double strain the drink into the chilled cocktail glasses and garnish with a thin slice of passion fruit.
- Serve with shots of chilled Prosecco or Champagne on the side.
Notes
TOP TIP:
Bottled passion fruit purée can be very sweet – you might need to adjust how much to add to your cocktail. Always taste before serving and adjust by adding a little lime juice to balance the drink if needed.Passion Star Martini tips :
- I can’t find fresh passion fruit – what can I use instead? You can replace the fresh passion fruit purée with store-bought versions. The only slight drawback is that they usually come if large containers and need to be used quite quickly.
- I don’t have Vanilla vodka – you don’t really need it, simply add a couple of drops of real vanilla extract (used in baking) or scrape the seeds from a vanilla pod. Alternatively use homemade vanilla simple syrup, recipe below.
- Do I pour the prosecco into the cocktail? The prosecco or Champagne is meant to be drunk on its own and served on the side. You can certainly pour it into your martini if you prefer, I usually do.
Vanilla Simple Syrup
Bring 135g (2/3 cup) of sugar and 120ml (½ cup) of water to a simmer over medium low heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Take off the heat when bubbles just rising to the surface. Stir in vanilla paste or extract (around ½ tbsp) until dissolved. Cool and transfer to a clean jar or bottle. Keep in the fridge for up to a week to use in cocktails.
