This Provocatively Named Cocktail Will Ignite Your Passions

Let’s forget about the second half of this drink’s name for a moment: It doesn’t remotely resemble a classic Martini. As for the first part, it’s said by some that it’s creator, bartender Douglas Ankrah, thought it was what a porn star would order; other stories hold that he was inspired by the smell of a exotic dancers perfume.

In any case, this crowd-pleasing combination of vanilla and passion fruit accompanied by a shot of prosecco, which has spread far from its origins at London’s Townhouse bar in the early 2000s to be adopted by bars the world over, it’s certainly become a star.

Ingredients:

• 25ml of vanilla flavoured vodka
• 25ml or Passoã
• 12ml passionfruit puree
• 25 ml pineapple juice
• 12ml ounce lime juice, freshly squeezed
