History & Heritage
“The Pineapple Pornstar Martini evolved organically as bartenders experimented with Douglas Ankrah's original 2002 creation. The addition of pineapple juice provides a brighter, juicier dimension while maintaining the drink's signature balance of vanilla and passion fruit. This tropical variation has gained widespread appeal for its refreshing complexity and enhanced frothy texture.”
