Interesting Facts

The name ‘Pornstar Martini’ is said to have been inspired by the passion fruit, which was seen as an exotic ingredient.

History of the Drink

The Pornstar Martini is a relatively new addition to the world of cocktails, having been invented in the early 2000s by bartender Douglas Ankrah at the Townhouse bar in London. Ankrah was looking for a way to put a modern and playful twist on the classic Martini. The result was the Pornstar Martini.

The cocktail quickly became a sensation in the UK and beyond, with its unique combination of sweet and tart flavours, including its signature garnish of a fresh passion fruit with a shot of prosecco on the side

The Pornstar Martini is a perfect example of how a creative bartender can take a classic cocktail and give it a modern twist. Its popularity is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Martini and the endless possibilities for innovation and experimentation in the world of cocktails.
