How to Make a Pornstar Martini at Home: India’s Most Googled Cocktail Recipe
Why Is Pornstar Martini So Famous?
Pornstar Martini is extremely famous because of its combination of tropical passionfruit flavors and sweet, visually striking presentation. It perfectly balances the flavors of vanilla vodka with liqueur, sweet passion fruit puree, and a hint of lime, which makes it palatable and smooth. The drink is distinctively served with prosecco or champagne on the side, making the drinkers decide their sparkle for the drink.
The other reason behind its popularity is its provocative name. It was previously named “Maverick Martini,” but was later rebranded to Pornstar Martini. This is because the creator, Douglas Ankrah, felt that the drink was “sexy,” “pure indulgence,” and “stylish and confident.”
Ingredients For Making Pornstar Martini
- 45ml (1 ½ oz) Vanilla Vodka
- 15 ml (½ oz) Passion Fruit Liqueur
- 30ml (1 oz) Passion Fruit Puree or Juice

Method
- The very first step is to place your coupe or martini glass in the freezer.
- Take a shaker and add all the ingredients except the prosecco or champagne, as it has to be served on the side.
- Shake all the ingredients well with plenty of ice.
- Now make sure you shake vigorously for 15 seconds. This is a crucial step to get the signature silky froth.
- Next, double-strain it in your chilled martini or coupe glass. This is to ensure that there are no pulps or ice shards remaining.
- The drink should have a foam on top; it means you have shaken the ingredients perfectly.
- Place the passion fruit on top for garnishing.
- Serve prosecco or champagne in a shot glass with the cocktail.

Pro-Tips To Ensure The Perfect Pour Of Pornstar Martini
- If you think you mix the prosecco or the champagne offered to you directly into the Martini, you are wrong. The traditional and right way to drink it is to keep sipping on the champagne or prosecco in between your sips of the cocktail. It clearly acts like a palate cleanser and enhances the experience.
- You can easily use passion fruit juice if you do not find passion fruit puree.
- Next pro tip would be that if you are using juice instead of puree, make sure that you add 15 ml of egg white to the shaker for the foam. If you want a vegan-friendly foam, you can add aquafaba (chickpea water).
- If you cannot find passion fruit liqueur in India, try using a high-quality passion fruit syrup instead. You can also increase the quantity of vodka instead. (slightly)
