There’s just something about a Pornstar Martini that makes a night out feel instantly more cheeky & fun. Maybe it’s the balance of sweet and citrus, maybe it’s the signature side or topper of prosecco, or maybe it’s just the fact that ordering one always feels a little bit like a main character moment and veryy Sex & The City.
Either way, if you’re planning a girls’ night, a flirty date, or honestly just want a cocktail that delivers every time, this is one drink worth seeking out.
Across Toronto, mixologists are putting their own spin on the classic, from clarified versions to creative menu names and completely off-menu custom builds.
So if you’ve been craving one (or three), these are the spots to know.
