About this drink
The Passion Fruit Martini grew out of London's 1990s vodka-martini boom as a sweeter, more approachable cousin of the classic martini. It shares its roots with the Pornstar Martini, but here the sparkling wine goes on top rather than being served on the side. Fresh passion fruit makes all the difference: use only ripe, wrinkled fruit for the best aroma.
