This porn star martini cocktail is made with vanilla-flavored vodka, fresh passion fruit puree, lime juice, and passion fruit liqueur (like Passoa). It’s a fruity, boozy cocktail that’s not too sweet, thanks to the tart flavors of the passionfruit and the lime juice. Garnish with half of a passionfruit — and an optional side of sparkling wine.

Porn Star Martini Ingredients

The cocktail mixes vanilla vodka, passion fruit liqueur, passion fruit puree, lime juice, and vanilla simple syrup. And it’s traditionally served with an optional side of prosecco (or any sparkling wine). The bubbles help elevate the flavor and balance the cocktail’s flavor.

Here’s what you’ll need to make this drink.

VANILLA VODKA: I used Absolut Vanilla.
PASSION FRUIT LIQUEUR: I used Passao. This passion fruit liqueur has a bright pink color which helps give the cocktail a distinct hue. But if you use another brand, the drink might look more yellow.
PASSION FRUIT PUREE: You can easily make passion fruit puree with fresh passion fruit (see recipe below). Or you can use store-bough puree. Just make sure it’s puree is unsweetened.
FRESH LIME JUICE
VANIILA SIMPLE SYRUP: Vanilla simple syrup is easy to make and I’ve included a recipe below. And you can also use store-bought or use store-bought vanilla sugar.
GARNISH: Fresh passion fruit
OPTIONAL: Proseco or sparkling wine

ADD WATER: Add 1 teaspoon water per passion fruit.
BLEND AND STRAIN: Blend the mixure and then strain it using a fine mesh sieve. Set aside the puree until ready to use.

A Few More Recipe Tips:

HOW TO MAKE VANILLA SIMPLE SYRUP: To make vanilla simple syrup, add equal parts water and sugar to a saucepan (1 cup sugar and 1 cup water). Simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently, until sugar completely dissolves (don’t boil). Remove from the heat and stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool before using. Store leftover syrup in an air-tight container (like a mason jar) in your refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
DO I HAVE TO SERVE THE SPARKLING WINE SIDE?: No! The drink is so good all on its own. The side is optional.
MAKE AHEAD: You can easily make the passion fruit puree and vanilla simple syrup ahead of time. Just store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
