Passionfruit Martini cocktail recipe

Do you love passionfruit? Are you thrilled by martini glasses? Is vodka your favourite spirit? Well, you’re in luck. We’ve got a Passionfruit Martini recipe that will blow your mind.

But first, let’s talk about the fact that it’s called a Martini, despite being nothing like a classic Martini. If we look at the ingredients in both a Martini and a Passionfruit Martini you’ll see almost no similarities bar one: the glass. Yep, that’s right, the classification of a Martini comes down to one thing, the v-shaped glass. This is why things like the Nutella Martini and the Appletini are squidged into the Martini extended family (not that we’re complaining).

So, what does the Passionfruit Martini taste like? Sweet, fruity, tropical goodness. The pineapple juice creates a glorious texture that really thickens and lengthens the flavours. If a classic Martini is just not your vibe, this is one we think you can get around.

For the ideal Friday night in, pair a Passionfruit Martini with a ’90s playlist to match. 

Unlike the Classic Martini, there are no real hard-and-fast rules for its passionfruity cousin. However, if you want it to *technically* be a Martini, it has to be served in the classic v-shaped glass. That said, we won’t tell anyone if you don’t.

Our one tip? Stick your martini glasses in the freezer half an hour before serving, so the glass is nice and cold. Thank us later.
