A product of the modern British bar scene, the Pornstar Martini shakes vodka with Passoa passion fruit liqueur, fresh passion fruit juice, and lime, then serves the drink up in a cocktail glass alongside a separate shot of Prosecco. The shot is taken in alternation with the cocktail or tipped into it, adding effervescence and a crisp wine note to the tropical passion-fruit body. At around 14% ABV, it became the bestselling cocktail in British bars for several consecutive years during the 2010s, an unusual commercial dominance for a contemporary creation.

The Pornstar Martini is a modern British cocktail classic that combines vodka, Passoa passion fruit liqueur, fresh passion fruit juice, and lime, shaken and served up in a cocktail glass with a separate shot of Prosecco on the side. The Prosecco shot is taken alternately with sips of the cocktail or poured directly into the glass, adding effervescence and a crisp wine dimension. The cocktail became the bestselling cocktail in British bars for multiple consecutive years in the 2010s.
History & Origins
The Pornstar Martini was created by Douglas Ankrah at the Lab Bar in London around 2002, reportedly inspired by his travels to South Africa where he visited a bar associated with the adult entertainment industry. Ankrah named it provocatively to ensure it would be memorable and the name helped fuel its viral spread across UK bars. It became the UK's number one cocktail by volume in 2018 and remains a cultural phenomenon.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Intensely tropical and aromatic with dominant passion fruit from the Passoa and fresh juice, a lime citrus note, and a clean vodka backdrop. Palate: Sweet, tropical, and vibrant with passion fruit's characteristic musky sweetness driving the flavour, Passoa adding a liqueur richness, lime providing bright acidity, and vodka keeping the whole clean and spirit-present. Finish: Sweet, tropical, and clean with a lingering passion fruit character.
Pro Tip
Garnish with a halved fresh passion fruit on the rim and serve the Prosecco shot on the side in a chilled shot glass — the traditional way to drink this cocktail is to alternate sips of each.
