Porn Star Martini Cocktail Recipe

If you want to serve your guests, your date, your partner, or your buddy a drink they, he, or she are not soon going to forget, go with this cocktail recipe concocted by chef and recipe developer Jennine Bryant of The Marshside Pantry. What's so memorable about it? Well, with its sweet but not cloying fruit-forward flavor, it's simply a delicious drink that will be well enjoyed on any special occasion. Oh yes, and then there's the name: the porn star martini.

Yeah, that will also have them remembering this libation! All you'll need to remember, though, are a half dozen ingredients (not counting the ice) and a few simple steps and you'll be ready to shake up one tasty and decidedly adult beverage. "This is a real classic 'girls night' type of cocktail," Bryant says. "It was one of my go-to drinks in my 20s! It's definitely a fun party drink more than a serious and classy cocktail." Ready to make a drink that will have them begging for more? Then slip into something comfortable and let's get mixed up.

Okay, so you're sold that this is a delicious drink and you can't wait to try it and to serve it to your guests and all, but why is it called a porn star martini? Well, as Bryant explains...there's no great reason! "I actually didn't know where the name came from so I looked it up," she says. "It turns out there isn't any real backstory to the name, the inventor of the drink just decided to name it that because he thought it was 'bold, sexy, and playful.'" Well, it surely does capture one's attention, so mission accomplished!

As noted, it takes but six ingredients and some ice to make two servings of this tasty adult beverage. Those ingredients are a couple of ripe passionfruits, divided, vanilla vodka, Passoã passionfruit liqueur, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, Prosecco (or champagne), and about a handful ice cubes.

Start off by cutting one of the passionfruits in half and scooping the pulp out into a cocktail shaker. Then measure out and add the vanilla vodka, the Passoã, the lime juice, and the simple syrup to the shaker, and then add in the ice cubes. Now securely put the lid on the cocktail shaker and proceed to shake the drink up for about two minutes.

Once the concoction is well mixed, strain the passionfruit cocktail out evenly into two cocktail glasses. "It's important to remember to strain the cocktail when pouring it, else you'll get a glass filled with passion fruit seeds and pulp rather than a smooth cocktail," Bryant says. Next, divide the Prosecco between the two glasses, allowing it to mix with the passionfruit mixture. 

Finally, cut the remaining passionfruit in two and add ½ to each of the glasses, then serve the drinks immediately. Voila! Now you have a sweet and bubbly cocktail that is sure to get the conversation started!
