What is a Porn Star Martini?

A pornstar Martini is nothing like a traditional martini - but instead, it is full of fruity flavors with a vanilla undertone. A classic martini is made with gin and vermouth whereas a pornstar martini is made with flavored vodka.

Another striking difference is that a pornstar martini is traditionally always served with a shot of sparkling wine or champagne. This is unlike a classic martini which is served without any additions. The sparkling wine can be added to the drink or enjoyed as a shot after the drink as a palate cleanser.

And you may be wondering where the name comes from. Well, it is believed to be named a porn star martini to start up conversations and add some fun to the London bar scene.

According to an interview with the Pornstar Martini's creator, Douglas Ankrah, he chose the name because he thought the drink—with its bright, golden color—looked like something a porn star would drink. And he felt it also had the scent of a stripper's perfume.

Why you'll love this Pineapple Pornstar Martini recipe

Typically, a classic pornstar martini consists of vanilla vodka, passionfruit liqueur, simple syrup, lime juice, and passionfruit juice. The mixed cocktail is then served with a small shot of prosecco or sparkling wine on the side.

This pineapple version includes pineapple juice in the recipe to give a tangy flavor that pairs well with passionfruit and vanilla flavors. Pineapple is a great way to add sweet and sour flavor to a cocktail, along with some delicious tropical flair.

Ingredients

This cocktail requires just a few ingredients to make a well-balanced and flavorful drink. Below you can find what you will need to make this martini as well as some optional substitutes!

• Vanilla Vodka. If you don't have vanilla vodka, you can substitute it with plain vodka and half a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
• Passionfruit Liqueur (such as Passoa). If you can't get your hands on any passionfruit liqueur, you can substitute it with passionfruit gin or passionfruit vodka.
•  Passionfruit Juice or Puree. Either store-bought or homemade is fine! Bottled passion fruit purée can be very sweet so you may need to adjust how much you add to your cocktail or adjust the balance by adding a little lime juice.
•  Pineapple Juice. You can make your own fresh pineapple juice or buy some from the store.
• Champagne or Prosecco. Any well-chilled sparkling wine to serve alongside the cocktail.

Garnish & Serving Suggestions

Porn Star Martinis should be served in coupe glasses. This is because Porn Star Martinis are shaken with ice but not actually served with ice. The coupe’s long handle allows you to not change the temperature of the drink when holding the glass.

A coupe glass also allows ample room for garnishes and the addition of the sidecar of sparkling wine. There are many different ways to garnish a pornstar martini. See below for some fun ideas:

• Half of a fresh passionfruit
• A slice or chunk of fresh pineapple
• Lime slice or wedge
• Pineapple Leaf
• Fresh Flowers or Herbs
• Caramalised Pineapple Chunks

How to drink a pornstar martini

There are many different ways you can drink a pornstar martini.

While some like to pour the shot into the cocktail and enjoy it combined.
