Mouthfeel is a little syrupy w/o the champagne - I wonder why this is seen as a passionfruit-driven riff on a Porn Star Martini when a PSM includes two passionfruit-flavored ingredients also? Anyway, I tweaked w/ an oz. of lime juice and 3/4 oz of simple syrup plus a few drops of vanilla extract (to fake a slightly sweeter vanilla syrup).

Perhaps in ignorance or frustration, this might be the most inaccessible cocktail I've found on this site so far. Mexican corn whisky? Haven't ever seen it. Corn/maize liqueur? Nope. Coriander bitters? C'mon, brother! lol

I thought this was great - cognac really pulls out the chocolate and vermouth adds some complexity - but SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed) said it tasted like a "Frankenstein" cocktail.

I was stuck w/o orange peel and used grapefruit instead - no matter, as the cocktail was still truly excellent and a rare 5 for this bar.
