Tools you’ll need
Shaker
We recommend a cocktail shaker for mixing and chilling since you easily can feel when it starts to get frosty on the sides. If you don’t have one, use a mason jar or a travel mug with a tight lid.
Jigger or Measuring Tool
A jigger helps measure ingredients accurately. Our pro tip is if you don’t have one, just use a 30 ml or 1 oz shot glass. We do it all the time.
Strainer
This keeps ice and pulp out of your drink when you’re pouring it into the glass. If you don’t have one, use a slotted spoon or the lid of your jar to hold back the ice. A fine-mesh sieve also works.
Martini Glass
We like to use a martini glass to make the drink look elegant. If you don’t have one, any stemmed glass or even a regular tumbler will do.
Knife and Cutting Board
This is for slicing your passion fruit to use as a garnish, if you’re making your own purée or if you’re simply using the pulp instead. Just be careful!
HOW TO MAKE THE PERFECT PORNSTAR MARTINI AT HOME
1
Add 30 ml (1 part, 1 ounce) of Malibu Original, and 30 ml (1 part, 1 ounce) of Absolut Vanilia vodka to a shaker filled halfway with ice cubes. No cocktail shaker? Just use a mason jar with a tight lid.
2
Then, add 30 ml (1 part, 1 ounce) of passion fruit purée and 10 ml (0.3 part, 0.3 ounces) of simple syrup to the shaker. You can make simple syrup by dissolving equal parts sugar and hot water.
3
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds. If you’re using a mason jar, make sure the lid is on tight! Shaking blends the ingredients thoroughly and chills the drink.
4
Strain and pour into your chilled martini glass with a slice of passion fruit as a garnish. Straining removes the ice and any pulp. You can also use the lid of the shaker or a slotted spoon. A fine mesh sieve works too.
5
Top up with sparkling wine. We prefer using Prosecco or Champagne since they have high effervescence, and the slight tart helps to balance out the sweetness of the other ingredients.
6
That’s it, enjoy and serve!
OUR TIPS FOR MAKING THE PORNSTAR MARTINI AT HOME
1. Chill Your Martini Glass
One trick we’ve found really helps is chilling our martini glasses in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes before serving. This keeps the cocktail cold for longer and adds a nice touch of sophistication.
2. Balance The Sweetness
We like to adjust the amount of simple syrup to suit our taste. If you want a less sweet drink, simply reduce the syrup slightly. To make it, just combine 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar in a saucepan and simmer, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved. Our pro tip: it’s always easier to add more later if needed, but it’s hard to fix an overly sweet cocktail.
3. Make Your Own Passion Fruit Pureé
Just scoop out the pulp from ripe passion fruit into a blender with a pinch of sugar and blend for 10 seconds or until smooth. If you don’t have a blender, you can just use the pulp from half a passion fruit and place it directly into the shaker. Pro tip: add a little more sugar syrup if you’re only using pulp to balance out the bitterness.
4. Shake Well
When mixing the ingredients, we shake them vigorously with ice in a cocktail shaker for at least 15-20 seconds. This not only chills the drink but also ensures all the flavours are well combined and gives the cocktail a smooth texture.
5. Use Quality Sparkling Wine
The sparkling wine adds a delightful fizz, so we always choose a good quality one. Either a dry Prosecco or Champagne are our favorites, as they complement the sweetness of the other ingredients without overpowering them.
6. Garnish Creatively
We like to garnish our drink with a slice of fresh passion fruit. But if they’re not in season, a slice of lime works just as well. Go ahead and experiment. We find a well-presented drink somehow makes it taste a little better and is more impressive for our guests.

YOUR TOP FAQS ANSWERED
What can I do with my leftover ingredients?
Let’s talk zero-waste! Depending on how big or small your party is, and how much of each ingredient you use, you may be left with some additional Pornstar Martini ingredients. Don’t throw them away. Instead, here are some of our favourite ideas for things to do with the leftovers:
Leftover Malibu Original: Malibu Original is a great and versatile addition to your home bar. We love using it to create many popular tropical cocktails, like the Malibu Piña Colada, Malibu Bay Breeze or even a simple Coconut Mojito. We also like mixing it with fruit juices like pineapple, orange and mango for perfect sunny afternoons. For more inspo, check out our Malibu Drinks Collections.
Leftover Absolut Vanilia: We love using this in a range of delicious cocktails and bakes. Our go-to drinks are making a Vanilla Vodka Martini, a White Russian and a vanilla-infused Cosmopolitan. If we’re feeling indulgent, we sometimes mix it with Kahlúa and cream for a vanilla twist on a classic mudslide. In the kitchen, we often add it to our baking recipes like cakes, cookies or frosting for a subtle vanilla flavour.
Leftover Passion Fruit Purée: Passion fruit purée can be used with Malibu to make other delicious cocktails. You can also make delicious non-alcoholic drinks like passion fruit lemonade or iced tea. We also love blending passion fruit purée into smoothies, mixing it into yogurt or oatmeal, or drizzling it over desserts like cheesecake or ice cream.
Leftover Simple Syrup: This versatile sweetener appears in many Malibu Drinks recipes, but we also use it to sweeten iced tea, coffee or homemade lemonade. When we’re cooking, we often brush simple syrup brushed onto cakes, pancakes and waffles to add a subtle sweetness. You can also infuse simple syrup with herbs, spices, or citrus peels to create flavoured syrups for unique cocktails.
Leftover Passion Fruit Slices: These are perfect for garnishing all of our Malibu Passion Fruit cocktails. For an non-alcoholic alternative, passion fruit is great to infuse in sparkling water for some natural flavouring. We also like to add them to fruit salads, yogurt bowls or desserts. But let’s be fair, they taste great on their own with just a spoon.
