- Hi, welcome back.
I'm Steve the bartender, and today
I'm going to make a pornstar martini.
So, at first it was originally known
as the maverick martini, and then the original creator
changed it to the pornstar martini
just because he thought the drink was
provocative, fun and sexy, I quote.
So, this particular one, I have to laugh
because it's been on my list for absolutely ages.
I've only ever had it once before
when I lived in the UK about 10 plus years ago,
and I've been waiting to get a bottle of Passoã,
for those who don't know, which is a passion fruit liqueur.
I've been waiting ages to be able to get it.
I finally bought it, and then I've looked up
a few recipes and discovered that this recipe
doesn't actually contain Passoã, passion fruit liqueur.
So, cast that aside and I'm going to return it
because I'm not going to use it for anything else.
Anyways, so for this particular drink,
a lot of the recipes call for a vanilla vodka,
but I personally, not that I've made it a lot of times,
I prefer to make it with a straight vodka
and then use a vanilla syrup, the reason being
you're gonna get a better flavor
from the vanilla syrup, rather than kind of like
a fake vanilla taste in the vodka.
So, whatever you choose, vanilla vodka
or a straight vodka, double shot.
Sorry, 60 mils, two ounces.
Now, the next two ingredients,
the actual portion sizes that you're gonna use
depends on the sweetness.
So, this is actually a tinned passion fruit
in a syrup, so it's already going to be sweet.
So, I'm going to lower it a little bit
down to 22.5 mils or three quarters of an ounce.
So, if you're using fresh passion fruit,
obviously it's probably going to be
a little bit more tart, not as sweet
as something like that that's going to be in a syrup.
And then follow that with a vanilla syrup.
And same thing, I'm going to keep that
at 22.5 mils or three quarter ounce.
So, once I've finished the drink,
I'll obviously give it a taste
and then work out how those proportions
have worked out in the drink.
And then fresh lime juice, 15 mils, half an ounce.
Then fill your cocktail shaker with ice
and give it a good shake.

So, actually you've got your glass chilling.
And the garnish is actually a spent passion fruit,
so the small cuopes that I usually use
probably aren't gonna work.
This is a massive passion fruit
and it's gonna displace a lot of liquid,
so a glass with a bit bigger volume.
I don't usually double strain,
but in this particular cocktail,
you definitely don't want to because you want
some of those passion fruit seeds within the drink.
So, strain into your chilled glass.
Drop in your passion fruit.
I can actually see little bits
of vanilla bean within the drink,
so this looks like it's going to be really tasty.
And you serve it with a side of Prosecco.
Couldn't really find too much information
about why the Prosecco and how you're meant
to drink the drink, if you're just meant
to have both at the same time.
One recipe did suggest that you're meant
to have the Prosecco first with the passion fruit.
But anywho, there you have a pornstar martini.
Cheers.
That's quite well-balanced.
I'm definitely glad I dropped down
the passion fruit syrup and the vanilla syrup.
Those ratios work quite well.
Very tart, citrusy, the vanilla bean's pretty subtle,
so I'd probably adjust my syrup.
And that's Prosecco.
Thanks for watching.
