As the sun sets, the bar lights up, and the spirits flow, we begin our rendezvous with an unforgettable star of the cocktail world. The PornStar Shot – yes, you read that right! Don’t let the risqué name throw you; this beautiful combination of vodka, passionfruit, and a hint of lime has an entirely legal and respectably delicious license to thrill.
Created as a spectacle both in name and nature, the shot’s reputation precedes it. Whether it’s praised for its enchanting balance of sweetness and acidity or its playful presentation with a side of prosecco, there is no doubt that the PornStar Shot is the life of the party.
How to make PornStar Shot
The PornStar Shot is a vibrant and fruity cocktail that typically consists of vanilla vodka, passion fruit puree, and a shot of sparkling wine on the side.
Ingredients:
- 25 ml Vanilla-flavored vodka
- 25 ml Passionfruit liqueur or passoã
- A fresh passion fruit (cut in half)
- A small bottle (or shot) of prosecco (on the side)
Instructions:
- Cool the ingredients and glassware: First, chill your shot glasses and the ingredients you will use. You can either refrigerate the ingredients beforehand or use ice to bring them down to the desired temperature.
- Mix the Vodka and Passionfruit Liqueur: In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, pour your vanilla vodka and passionfruit liqueur. You could use a premium brand like Absolut Vanilia vodka and Passoã for a truly delectable shot.
- Shake it up: Once the spirits are in the shaker, close the lid and give it a nice shake. Make sure the liquids blend well together. The shaking not only ensures a good mix but also helps to dilute the drink a bit, making it smoother and better balanced. Shake for at least 15 seconds.
- Ready your glass: Place half of a passion fruit (inside facing up) in a shot glass.
- Pour the mix: After shaking, strain the mixture directly over the passionfruit half in your shot glass. The passion fruit gives it an additional tropical touch and lets the recipient mix in a bit of luscious fruitiness at their discretion.
- Serve with Prosecco: Serve the shot alongside a small shot of prosecco. The idea is to sip the Prosecco after the shot, so don’t mix the two together!
Pro Tips:
- The cocktail is best served chilled, so ensure your ingredients are cold before mixing.
- Use a reliable prosecco brand to complement your shot. Prosecco adds a fizzy touch that complements the shot’s sweet, tropical flavor.
- Add a creative twist to the recipe by slightly adding lime juice. This adds a bit of tanginess that further enhances the flavor.
- The recipe serves 1, but you can easily multiply the ingredients to cater to a group.
What to serve with
- Fresh Fruit Platter: Offer a colorful assortment of fresh fruits such as strawberries, pineapple, mango, and kiwi. The natural sweetness of the fruits will balance well with the tangy and tropical notes of the PornStar Shot.
- Cheese and Crackers: Create a cheese board with cheeses like brie, goat cheese, and sharp cheddar. Pair them with an assortment of crackers and perhaps some honey or fruit preserves for added depth.
- Shrimp Cocktail: A classic choice that’s both elegant and delicious. Serve chilled shrimp with a zesty cocktail sauce for a refreshing and savory option.
- Caprese Skewers: Skewer cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and basil leaves for a bite-sized, flavorful treat. Drizzle with balsamic glaze for an extra touch.
- Ceviche: If you want a bit more zest, consider serving a citrusy seafood ceviche. The acidity of the ceviche pairs well with the fruity undertones of the PornStar Shot.
- Bruschetta: Top toasted baguette slices with diced tomatoes, garlic, basil, and olive oil. It’s a simple yet tasty option that complements the cocktail.
