How to Make Pornstar Martini (Step-by-Step)

1. Chill the glass: Place a martini glass in the freezer or fill with ice water while you prepare the drink.
2. Add ingredients: Pour vanilla vodka, passion fruit purée, passion fruit liqueur, lime juice, and syrup into a cocktail shaker.
3. Add ice: Fill the shaker with ice until about three-quarters full.
4. Shake hard: Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker feels ice-cold. This creates the signature frothy texture.
5. Strain: Double strain into the chilled martini glass.
6. Serve: Garnish with half a passion fruit and serve with a chilled shot of prosecco on the side.

🍸 You Must Know Before Making a Pornstar Martini

• Always shake hard — this cocktail relies on aeration for texture.
• Use real passion fruit purée for best flavor; juice alone won’t work.
• Serve prosecco separately, not poured into the martini.
• Balance sweetness with fresh lime juice to avoid a cloying drink.

Storage & Make-Ahead Tips

• Make-ahead: Mix all ingredients except ice up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerate.
• Shake to serve: Always shake with ice just before serving.
• Leftovers: Best enjoyed fresh; froth will dissipate if stored.

Ingredient Substitutions & Variations

• Alcohol-free: Use alcohol-free vanilla spirit and sparkling grape juice.
• Extra tart: Add an extra splash of lime juice.
• Less sweet: Reduce syrup to ¼ oz.
• Frozen: Blend with ice for a slushy summer version.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this pornstar martini as a pre-dinner cocktail, at celebrations, or alongside light appetizers like shrimp cocktail, fruit platters, or small desserts. It shines brightest when presented in a chilled coupe with the prosecco served separately.
