How to make a Pornstar Martini using passion fruit liqueur

Passoa Pornstar Martini.
Passoa / Passoa

Tropical flavors are still all the rage, people. Just ask the many pineapple cocktail recipes out there, or the use of ingredients like acai, guava, and lychee. Today, we’re feeling like passion fruit.

The first Pornstar Martini cocktail is believed to have been concocted in London back in 2002. Since, it has not exactly become a classic but has certainly earned a following. It’s an underrated cocktail that evokes palm fronds and sand.

Of the lesser-known liqueurs out there, passion fruit options tend to be a bit easier to come by. That’s not too surprising, given the friendly flavor profile of the tropical fruit and how well it can blend with a spirit like vodka. Add a cool garnish and you have a sexy drink worthy of the Pornstar Martini name.

This recipe comes courtesy of Passoã, the passionfruit liqueur brand. It’s a lovely drink that’ll keep those beach bum feels going well through the beginning of autumn.

The best beers to pair with your summer yard games
Anderson Valley

When it comes to leisure activities during the summer months, it’s difficult to beat the appeal of a round of yard games. What could be more fun on a hot, sunny day than besting your friends and siblings in an epic backyard brawl? I can’t think of anything.

I’m talking about games like croquet, lawn darts, bocce, ladder ball, cornhole, and more. The only thing that makes the experience better is having a frosty, refreshing beer firmly in one of your hands. But just like how you don’t enjoy every yard game, not just any beer will do.
