P***star Martini - Rename Game*

[Big Tabs]

We only discovered pornstar martinis a couple of years ago.

They are delicious, moreish and taste like pop.

BUT, we object to the name.

So we have renamed them FiFi-tinis. (The wife is actually called Fi !)

Wife has just informed me the BBC refers to them as Passion Fruit Martinis

https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/passionfruit-pornstar-martini

M & S apparently renamed it as well

"In 2019, British retailer Marks & Spencer was forced to rename their tinned Porn Star Martini drinks to Passion Star Martini, following complaints that the name normalised pornography." (wikipedia)

I have been looking for Vaniila Gomme, but not found any yet. We do have pure cane sugar syrup, which is close, but doesn't have the thickening agent of gomme.


Do you have a penchant for a cocktail or two? Have you tried a FiFiTini?

(avoid the "Is that a parrot on your shoulder?" gag)

Just draining the first glass, mmm... soo tasty.

Bourbon is a no-no for me, I drank a pint of whisky straight down when I was 16 and had a bad night.
Since then anything remotely whisky tasting makes me heave.
Other than that, it sounds like a goer.

Make a Negroni.
Substitute gin for bourbon.

I’ve edited the thread, family-friendly site and all that. I do need to be careful about this sort of thing.

Martinez, you can use Google

Wouldn't that make it a 'Queen Motherini'?

Flat liner

Bloody Mary

Oh the irony, given my opening statement.

Oh the irony

oh so true

Bloody Mary is my favourite, and I am still playing with ingredients.

Shot of dry sherry, fresh lime juice, and horseradish have been interesting additions.

sherry float is pretty standard as is horseradish.

I've experimented with Indian flavours. When i was consulting for a cocktail bar in soho, I invented a version of a bloody Mary that used opihr gin, green chilli, cumin, lime pickle and fresh coriander

Mmm... sounds spicy.

I don't like a Bloody Mary that burns, I actually like tomato juice on its own, so try to not add too many flavours.

me too my goto breakfast juice at a B&B. Surprising number of B&Bs in Wales on our recent road trip were offering it at breakfast

My mother drank Libby's tomato juice in the seventies, I used to steal it from the fridge when I was young.
I could drink a pint now.

No idea what a Porn Star Martini is but I did once liven up an American Cream Soda (which has a vanilla like taste) with Vodka and realised I had 'invented' Alcopops.

I love cream soda (esp. with vanilla ice cream on top) and my wife hates it.

I also have invented vodka and cream soda a few years ago

Always keep a few cans of cream soda in the pantry as a granddaughter also likes it.

 

[gintonic]

try Tizer and Vodka

A friend and I drank a litre of cheap gin in half an hour when we were seventeen and I know exactly what you mean.

P* martini sounds good, I hope my passionfruit vines have taken off at home in my year's absence.

How we make our FiFitinis. (P**NStar Martini)

For two servings

Juice of 2 passion fruit, strain out the seeds with a sieve.

Juice of half a Lime

2 large measures of Vanilla Vodka

1 large measure Passoa (passion fruit liqueur)

Tablespoon of sugar syrup

shake with ice - pour into martini glasses - top with champagne or prosecco

*to tart it up > float half a passion fruit on top

repeat ad infinitum

I want to add Vanilla Gomme, but we haven't got any.
Going to order some, it has a slight thickening effect and a slight orange nose.
