P*rn Star Martini, a lil backstory

The Pornstar Martini is a relatively modern cocktail that was created in the late 1990s by bartender Douglas Ankrah at The Townhouse bar in London, UK. Here's a brief history behind its creation and its rise to popularity:

  1. Creation by Douglas Ankrah:

    • Douglas Ankrah is credited with inventing the Pornstar Martini in 1999 while working at The Townhouse bar in Knightsbridge, London. He wanted to create a cocktail that was both visually appealing and had a provocative name to attract customers.

  2. Inspiration for the Name:

    • The cocktail's name, "Pornstar Martini," was reportedly inspired by a friend of Ankrah's who was a dancer in a strip club. The drink was intended to evoke a sense of glamour and indulgence.

    • Global Recognition:

      • Over the years, the Pornstar Martini has become a staple on cocktail menus worldwide. Its vibrant presentation, sweet-tart flavor profile, and the interactive element of drinking the shot alongside the cocktail have contributed to its enduring popularity.
