Passion fruit, vanilla vodka and a measured shot of espresso for a tropical cocktail with coffee depth.

Method: Shake · Glass: Coupe glass (chilled) · Time: 5 min · Difficulty: Intermediate · Family: Modern Classics

Ingredients

1.5 oz Vanilla Vodka
0.75 oz Passion Fruit Purée
0.5 oz Fresh Espresso (cooled briefly)
0.5 oz Passion Fruit Liqueur
0.5 oz Fresh Lime Juice
0.25 oz Vanilla Syrup

How to make a Espresso Pornstar

Chill a coupe glass and pull fresh espresso; let it cool briefly so it does not melt the shake.
Add all ingredients to a shaker with ice.
Shake hard for 12-15 seconds to create a light foam.
Double strain into the chilled coupe and garnish.

Garnish

Three coffee beans or half a passion fruit.

Pro tip

Keep the espresso measure restrained. More coffee quickly overwhelms the passion fruit, while a half-ounce adds depth without turning the drink into an Espresso Martini.

History of the Espresso Pornstar

The Espresso Pornstar is a contemporary bar riff that connects two modern classics: the fruit-and-vanilla Pornstar Martini and the coffee-forward Espresso Martini.
