3⁄4 oz Ginger liqueur, Canton
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1⁄4 oz Islay Scotch, Ardbeg 10
2 ds Absinthe
2 dr Salt Solution
Instructions

Shake, then strain into a coupe. No garnish.

Notes

A Last Word + Penicillin mashup

Sadly, it seems to need real green Chartreuse. None of the substitutes I've tried have the depth and intensity required to carry the drink.

Note that this is essentially a variation of the "Naked & Famous" recipe, but with a bunch of tequila added, while dialing back the mezcal/Aperol/Yellow Chartreuse slightly.

Porn Star Martini

1 1⁄2 oz Vodka, Absolut Vanilla (Grey Goose La Vanille or Absolut Vanilla)
1⁄2 oz Passion fruit liqueur (Passoã or De Kuyper)
2 oz Passion fruit puree, Boiron
2 bsp Vanilla Sugar
2 oz Brut Champagne
Instructions

Combine all ingredients, except the Champagne, in a mixing tin and shake with ice. Strain into a chilled Martini glass. Garnish with half of a sliced-open passion fruit. Serve with shot of chilled Champagne on the side.

Notes

Vanilla Sugar:
5 cups granulated sugar
2 vanilla pods

Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blitz until integrated. Sift through a sieve before using or storing.

History

The provocatively named cocktail, created at the Townhouse in London in 2003 by Douglas Ankrah, is a Martini in name only, but has gone on to become a modern classic. Made with vanilla vodka, passion fruit liqueur and passion fruit purée, the final flourish is a shot glass of chilled Champagne served alongside the drink (intended to alternate with the cocktail as a palate cleanser)

  • I made vanilla sugar as a paste with a few dashes of vanilla extra since actual vanilla beans are extremely expensive.

Like it very much, one of my favorite tiki cocktails. I would recommend to decrease the cream of coconut amount to 3 cl, because recipe's 4,5 cl are slightly too sweet.
