Pornstar Martini: A fruity vodka cocktail with passion fruit and vanilla

A good Pornstar Martini should be fruity, cool, and slightly creamy. To achieve this, all the ingredients are shaken vigorously with ice. The Prosecco isn’t added directly to the cocktail; instead, it’s served in the traditional way in a small glass on the side.

1. Chill the cocktail glass beforehand
   Chill the cocktail glass for a few minutes or fill it with ice cubes.
   The pre-chilled glass keeps the Pornstar Martini at the right temperature for longer. This small step makes a noticeable difference, especially with cocktails served without ice.
2. Add ingredients to the shaker
   Pour EXACT vodka, passion fruit liqueur, passion fruit puree, lime juice and vanilla syrup into a cocktail shaker.
   Then add plenty of ice cubes.
   When it comes to vanilla syrup, it’s best to use it sparingly. The vanilla should complement the passion fruit, not overpower it.
3. Shake vigorously
   Close the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
   A bit of vigorous shaking is perfectly acceptable here. The vigorous shaking makes the cocktail very cold and gives the passion fruit puree a slightly creamy consistency.
   When the outside of the shaker has become noticeably cold, the drink is ready for the glass.
4. Strain through a fine strainer
   Remove the ice from the pre-chilled cocktail glass.
   Then pour the cocktail into the glass through a bar strainer and, ideally, through a fine strainer as well. This will leave behind larger pieces of fruit and small ice shards.
   In the glass, the Pornstar Martini should have a rich yellow to orange color and a fine, slightly frothy surface.
5. Add passion fruit
   Cut a fresh passion fruit in half and carefully place one half on top of the cocktail with the cut side facing up.
   The dark seeds create a beautiful contrast to the drink’s vibrant color and make the Pornstar Martini instantly recognizable.
6. Serve Prosecco on the side
   A small glass of chilled Prosecco or champagne is traditionally served with the Pornstar Martini.
   It is served alongside the cocktail and not poured directly into it.
   How you drink the sparkling wine is ultimately a matter of personal taste. Many people enjoy a small sip now and then to refresh their palate between the fruity, sweet sips of the cocktail.

EXAKT Tip

: For a truly great Pornstar Martini, it’s worth using high-quality passion fruit purée. It adds significantly more fruitiness and acidity to the cocktail than plain fruit juice.

Don’t skimp on the shaking, either. Only by shaking vigorously will you achieve that characteristic creamy texture.

If you prefer it a little less sweet, reduce the vanilla syrup to half a centiliter or slightly increase the amount of fresh lime juice.

Here’s what it tastes like

The Pornstar Martini is intensely fruity and exotic.

Passion fruit is clearly the star of the show. It adds sweetness, tartness, and a hint of tropical freshness. The lime juice enhances this freshness and ensures that the cocktail doesn’t become too sweet despite its fruity ingredients.

Vanilla gives the drink a smooth and almost creamy note. The vodka brings the various flavors together and provides the cocktail’s clean, alcoholic base.

Finally, the Prosecco—served on the side—adds a dry, effervescent contrast.

The result is an intense, fruity, and surprisingly well-balanced cocktail that’s not without reason one of the most famous modern vodka drinks.
