FAQ
The pornstar martini was actually originally called the Maverick Martini!
It was created by Douglas Ankrah in 1999.
He eventually decided that the original name wasn't the right fit and renamed it a 'pornstar martini' as he thought it was a drink that a pornstar would drink!
Yes, it is! At times, the spelling has become confused - but they are both the same passionfruit martini recipe.
