Porn Star Martini

How to make:

1. To make a great tasting Porn Star Martini you’ll need to flavour your vodka with a vanilla pod. Simply cut the vanilla pod lengthways to expose the flavoursome seeds inside and drop the scored vanilla pod into your bottle of vodka. Reseal and shake bottle several times a day for at least two days, preferably a week.

2. To make your cocktail, wash and cut 2 fresh passion fruits in half, SCOOP out the seeds and flesh of 3 halves into your shaker. (Keep last passion fruit half for garnish). Add next four ingredients (all but champagne), SHAKE with ice and fine strain into chilled glass.

Separately, POUR champagne into chilled shot glass to serve on the side. Instruct drinker to sip alternately from each glass.

Garnish:

Float half fresh passion fruit

Comment:

A fruity sweet crowd-pleaser with champagne served on the side.
