Passion Fruit Martini Recipe

Passion Fruit Martini recipe — The tropical overachiever who went to London and got fancy — but still parties hard. Made with vodka. Originally from United Kingdom.

I'm the friend who studied abroad and came back with an accent and expensive taste. Sure, I'm a little extra with my floating passion fruit half, but I deliver pure sunshine in a glass. I'm confident, Instagram-ready, and impossible to ignore at any party.

Despite its tropical vibes, the Passion Fruit Martini was actually invented in London in 2003 by bartender Douglas Ankrah at the LAB bar in Soho. It became so popular that it's now the UK's second most ordered cocktail after the Mojito.

Created by Douglas Ankrah at London's LAB bar in 2003, this drink was originally called the 'Pornstar Martini' for its seductive appeal. Ankrah wanted to create something glamorous and confident that would make people feel sexy when drinking it.
