Pornstar Martini
Now known the world over, the Pornstar Martini was created in 2002 by Douglas Ankrah at his bar Townhouse in London. He states that his inspiration came from a visit to Mavericks Revue Bar Gentlemen's Club (a nude strip club) in Cape Town, South Africa.
Whilst the use of 'Porn star' in the name may be evocative - Ankrah states that he chose the name to evoke "a stylish and confident drink...(that's)...pure indulgence, sexy, fun and evocative"
It's success led it to being the most ordered cocktail in the UK in 2018 - and it's seemingly only becoming more popular!
NB: This is also known as a Passionfruit Martini
