01
Porn Star Martini
The signature drink that made passion fruit a bar staple. 1 oz passion fruit + 1.5 oz vanilla vodka + 0.5 oz vanilla syrup + 0.25 oz lemon juice, shaken, served with a champagne sidecar. The seeds complete the aesthetic.
Why passion fruit
For cocktail bars.
Passion fruit is one of the most-requested flavors on American bar menus. Porn star martinis, tropical sours, hurricane variants, and Mezcal cocktails all benefit from passion fruit's tart-floral profile. The problem is that most passion fruit on bar-supply distributor shelves is actually apple juice concentrate tinted with a tiny amount of real passion fruit. Which is why every passion fruit drink at every bar tastes the same.
Our product is 100% pure yellow passion fruit juice, sourced from Vietnamese farms, flash-frozen within hours of press. With the seeds intact. Seeds matter: they give the drink its signature look (yellow gel with floating black seeds) and the textural pop that elevates a cocktail above a standard citrus build.
A 1 kg pack is roughly 30–40 cocktail pours at 1 oz per drink. A 10 kg case covers a full month of service for most craft programs even as a signature-upcharge SKU. Batching pre-mix syrups extends it further.

Common questions
About passion fruit for this use.
Is the juice 100% pure?+
Yes. Single-ingredient: passion fruit juice. No apple, no pear, no water, no sugar, no preservatives. The ingredient list on the pack is 'passion fruit juice.'
Do I keep or strain the seeds?+
For Porn Star Martinis and tropical cocktails, keep the seeds. They're the visual signature. For clarified drinks (milk punches, clarified sours), strain through a chinois.
Can I batch passion fruit syrups in advance?+
Yes. A 1:1 passion fruit to simple syrup mix holds 10 days refrigerated. Great for high-volume nights when shaking from scratch isn't feasible.
Yellow vs purple passion fruit in cocktails?+
Yellow is tarter and more aromatic. The commercial cocktail standard. Purple passion fruit is sweeter and less complex. Better for dessert drinks than shaken cocktails.
