To drink a Pornstar Martini the traditional and recommended way (according to its creator Douglas Ankrah):
- Scoop out the passionfruit half served with the drink using a spoon, eat the pulp and seeds, and discard the rind.
- Sip the martini itself, which is a sweet and strong cocktail made with vodka, passion fruit liqueur, vanilla, and lime juice.
- Take occasional sips of the prosecco or sparkling wine shot served alongside the martini. The prosecco acts as a palate cleanser between sips of the cocktail.
- Do not pour the prosecco into the martini glass or shoot the prosecco as a chaser. Instead, alternate sipping the cocktail and the prosecco.
- Enjoy the passionfruit garnish first, then alternate between drinking the martini and sipping the prosecco to balance the flavors.
This way, you experience the cocktail as “two drinks in one” with a balanced, refreshing taste.
In summary:
- Eat the passionfruit garnish first.
- Sip the martini slowly.
- Sip the prosecco separately as a palate cleanser, alternating between the two.
- Do not mix the prosecco in the martini glass.
This is considered the classic, proper way to drink a Pornstar Martini for the ultimate experience.
