Stripper Martini

In spite of its name, there is nothing cheap or sleazy about this cocktail, even if its referred to as the Porn Star. It was first introduced by Douglas Ankrah in the UK in 2003 and l later appeared in his book Shaken & Stirred. I much prefer the name Stripper which refers more to Burlesque and acceptable mid century culture anyway. This recipe differs slightly as there is no vanilla vodka, I am not sure why you would need it anyway if the simple syrup was infused with vanilla. I am sure most would prefer the natural taste of vanilla over a vodka infused with some chemical to resemble vanilla. And while this drink is typically served with a sidecar of sparkling wine (prosecco, champagne, etc), that is up to you.

1 1/2 ounces vodka
1/2 ounce vanilla syrup
1/2 ounce passion fruit liqueur
1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
