Pornstar Bellini
Shake ∙ 3 min ∙ 10.9% ABV ∙
The Pornstar Bellini is a sparkling passion fruit cocktail — vanilla vodka, Passoã, and fresh passion fruit shaken and topped with Prosecco, a fizzy take on the Pornstar Martini. Tropical passion fruit and soft vanilla lead into a tart lime edge, with dry Prosecco bubbles lifting the finish — a fruity brunch or celebration pour.

Tips
- Scoop the flesh from a fresh passion fruit straight into the shaker so the seeds and pulp go in.
- Fine-strain the shaken base into a chilled flute, then top with Prosecco last so the bubbles stay lively.
- Pre-chill the flute and the Prosecco; a warm glass kills the fizz and flattens the drink quickly.
- Add the Prosecco slowly down the side of the glass to preserve the mousse and avoid overflow.
History
The Pornstar Bellini is a sparkling spin on the Pornstar Martini, the passion fruit and vanilla drink created by bartender Douglas Ankrah, who is generally credited with devising it in London around the turn of the 2000s. Where the classic serves a chilled shot of Champagne alongside the shaken drink, the Bellini version pours the sparkling wine straight into the glass with the fruit base, borrowing its name and format from the peach-and-Prosecco Bellini.
FAQ
What is in a Pornstar Bellini?
A Pornstar Bellini combines fresh passion fruit, vanilla vodka, Passoã passion fruit liqueur, vanilla syrup, and fresh lime juice, shaken and then topped with extra dry Prosecco. It is the flavor profile of a Pornstar Martini served long and sparkling rather than with a Champagne shot on the side.
Is a Pornstar Bellini shaken or stirred?
The base is shaken. Passion fruit flesh, vanilla vodka, Passoã, vanilla syrup, and lime juice are shaken with ice and fine-strained into a chilled flute, then topped with Prosecco, which is never shaken so the bubbles survive.
What glass is a Pornstar Bellini served in?
A Pornstar Bellini is served in a chilled flute glass. The tall, narrow shape suits the Prosecco top, keeping the drink cold and holding the carbonation longer than a wider coupe would.
How strong is a Pornstar Bellini?
A Pornstar Bellini is a relatively low-strength cocktail at around 10.9% ABV, roughly in line with the wine it is built on. The Prosecco makes up most of the volume, keeping it lighter than a spirit-forward Pornstar Martini.
How is a Pornstar Bellini different from a Pornstar Martini?
A Pornstar Bellini tops the passion fruit and vanilla base with Prosecco poured straight into the glass, making a long sparkling drink. A Pornstar Martini is served up in a coupe with a chilled shot of Champagne on the side.
