Porn Star Martini

A modern London icon, the Porn Star Martini layers vanilla vodka, passion fruit liqueur, and fresh passion fruit purée into a bright, tropical-sour drink, sweetened with vanilla and finished with a half passion fruit floated on top. A chilled shot of champagne is served alongside — sip and chase. Douglas Ankrah created it in 2002 at his Soho bar Townhouse, and it has since become one of Britain's best-selling cocktails.
