Welcome to Styled 2 Ways – Cocktail Recipe Edition
Styled 2 Ways is a collaboration between my blog, Master”pieces” of my Life, & the blog From the Bay to the Beach, penned by Susan. Two different points of view for a particular styling, project or concept are shared. A guest host sometimes includes another styling for triple the fun. Thank you for joining us; we’re happy to have you here with us.
Although Susan and I both like many of the same things, we both have unique styles of our own, and we want to share how the same idea can be expressed in different ways. Both ways are equally as fantastic, and appreciating other unique takes on the same idea expands our own personal style.
When you are done here, please hop over and visit Susan. If you are here visiting from Susan’s place, welcome, I am so happy you are here. Leave me a comment down below; I would love to get to know you. Come on in, have a seat and enjoy!
About the Porn Star Martini
It really has nothing to do with porn. The Pornstar Martini is a passion fruit flavored cocktail made with vanilla vodka. The Porn Star martini was created by Douglas Ankrah in 2002 at his bar, Townhouse, in SoHo, London. The cocktail according to Douglas was inspired by a visit to Mavericks Revue Bar Gentlemen’s Club, a strip club in Cape Town, South Africa. In interviews, Ankrah claimed he used the “porn star” name to evoke “a stylish and confident drink…[that’s]…pure indulgence, sexy, fun and evocative” And here we are.

Tips & Recommendations for the Porn Star Martini Cocktail
Bubbles
Since you are adding other ingredients to the champagne or sparkling wine, I would recommend to not necessarily use super spendy bubbles. At the same time, I would also recommend using bubbles which taste good on their own. You can choose the type of bubbles you prefer, including Prosecco, Cava, brut, etc.
Side Car
Originally the porn star martini cocktail was designed to be served with a sidecar of sparkling wine, meaning a shot glass of bubbles on the side. The sparkling wine would be used as a chaser after a sip of the cocktail. You can also top off the cocktail with the bubbles as we do here. You do you, and indulge your preference.
Substitutions | Alternatives
If you can’t get a hold of vanilla simple syrup, you can always substitute a teaspoon of sugar and a dash of vanilla extract. Also passion fruit, a tropical variety, isn’t always readily available. Instead of garnishing with a passion fruit itself you can use a twist of lime or a berry of sorts. The passion fruit just gives it that extra, which makes the drink so special. I have included options in the shopping section for your convenience.
