Originally known as the Pornstar Martini, this delicious cocktail debuted in the early 2000s and quickly rose up the ‘top cocktail’ charts to sit where it does today. Not only is it delicious with the tart tropical fruit pairing perfectly with the sweet vanilla sugar syrup, but it is also a brilliant conversation starter due to both its vibrant yellow colour and the fact that it comes with a friend, most commonly a Champagne or prosecco shot.
How do you drink a Passionstar/ Pornstar Martini?
There seems to be a fair bit of confusion over how to drink both drinks… do you shot the sparkling wine down? Do you drink one before the other? Do you drink them at the same time?! Well, here at 3DHQ we like to suggest you have a sip of the passionfruit cocktail first and follow it up with the sparkling wine as it will act as a bit of a palate cleanser in between sips. However you choose to drink it though, you won’t be disappointed!
Here is our favourite recipe…
Ingredients
1 ripe passion fruit, halved
30ml vodka
30ml fresh passionfruit puree
10ml sugar syrup (we recommend vanilla)
Prosecco, to serve
Method
Scoop the seeds from half of the passion fruit into the tin of a cocktail shaker, add the vodka, passion fruit puree, and sugar syrup. Add a handful of ice and shake well, strain into a martini glass and add a wedge of passion fruit to each. Serve with a shot of prosecco.
