Is The Porn Star Martini The Next 'It' Cocktail?
HuffPost
Here's what you should know about this increasingly popular — and incredibly sweet — drink.
Recent years have seen the rise of the espresso martini, dirty Shirley, Negroni sbagliato, Hugo spritz and more.
But the next “it” cocktail might be one with a rather raunchy name: the porn star martini.
What is a porn star martini?
“The porn star martini is a passion fruit-flavored cocktail made with vanilla vodka, passion fruit liqueur, passion fruit juice and lime juice, accompanied by a chilled shot of prosecco,” Fabio Raffaelli, a bartender and North America brand ambassador for Martini & Rossi, said in an email.
The drink is not a true martini but rather one of the many sweet cocktails that have come to include the word “martini” in its name, perhaps due to the glassware it’s typically served in. Many bartenders use passion fruit purée or syrup instead of juice and add vanilla syrup.
