Passion fruit, vanilla and a glass of bubbles on the side
1 2/3 oz / 5 cl Purity Vodka 51 Connoisseur Reserve
2/3 oz / 2 cl passion fruit liqueur
1 2/3 oz / 5 cl passion fruit purée
2 bar spoons vanilla sugar (or 1/2 oz / 1.5 cl vanilla syrup)
1 2/3 oz / 5 cl champagne or dry sparkling wine, served on the side
Half a passion fruit, for garnish
Passion Fruit Martini
Vodka, passion fruit and vanilla, served with a small glass of champagne on the side to sip between bites. It was created in London in 1999 and has since become one of the best-known cocktails of the modern era. Vodka 51 Connoisseur Reserve is silky enough that the passion fruit stays bright.
Chill a coupe and a small glass for the champagne.
Shake the vodka, liqueur, purée and vanilla sugar hard with ice for about 15 seconds.
Double strain into the coupe and float half a passion fruit on top.
Pour the champagne into the small glass and serve it alongside.
Sip the champagne between sips of the martini, as the drink was designed.
