HOW TO MAKE A PASSION FRUIT MARTINI
The Passion Fruit Martini, also known as the Pornstar Martini, is a vibrant and fruity cocktail that has gained widespread popularity for its exotic flavours and playful presentation. Created in the late 20th century, the cocktail's origins are attributed to London bartender Douglas Ankrah, who crafted it in the early 2000s at his bar, Townhouse. The Passion Fruit Martini typically features vodka, passion fruit puree, vanilla syrup, and often includes a side shot of sparkling wine. Known for its eye-catching appearance and the inclusion of a Prosecco shot on the side, this libation offers a delightful balance of sweet and tart notes, making it a favourite among cocktail enthusiasts seeking a refreshing and visually appealing drink experience.
