Marks & SpencerThere are so many eclectic and unusual options on contemporary cocktail menus it’s sometimes difficult to narrow down your choice.
Through my own extensive research, I’ve found it’s always a good idea to opt for taste over Instagramability. Clouds of dry ice billowing from vintage teacups do not always equate to a quality beverage.
At times when you just cannot decide, there is always one fruity faithful guaranteed to refresh you for a late night ahead; sliding down your throat very easily indeed.
With a flavour like poured sunshine in the depths of winter – and with a naughty name to boot – it’s no wonder the Porn Star Martini was the second most ordered cocktail in the UK in 2017.
And if there’s one retailer able to bring the juicy cocktail successfully to can form just in time for Christmas, it’s good old Marks & Spencer.
The quality retailer is selling cans of ready made Porn Star Martini for £2 a pop, which isn’t really to bad when you consider the ever escalating prices in city centre bars. Even better, the cans are included in a ‘4 for 3’ deal right up until April 2019.
An M&S spokesperson has since made the following statement about the 250 ml tinnies, as reported by the Mirror:
Named one of the nation’s favourite cocktails in 2017, M&S is the first retailer to bring the Porn Star Martini to the high street just in time for the Christmas festivities.
Elevating M&S’s extensive selection of quality on the go drinks, the new Porn Star Martini is deliciously sweet and exotic, blending passion fruit with vodka.
M&S shoppers have been thrilled by this new, zesty addition to M&S’s popular range of ‘on-the-go’ drinks.
One amazed person gasped:
M&S cocktail cans are another level! Pornstar martini, caipirinha cosmo and more, all in practically sized portions. I’m too excited about these!
Another sighed:
8pm, leaving the office. Could not be more overjoyed that M&S have extended their cocktail range to include pornstar martini #treatingmyself
Other cans in the range include: Rum and Cola, Pina Colada, Whiskey & Ginger, Mojito, Vodka & Tonic and the ever popular Gin & Tonic.

M&S have been getting super inventive with their new drinks range this season; introducing readymade bottles of festive bevvies such as Millionaire’s Shortbread Cocktail, Espresso Martini and – my fave addition – the Jaffa Cake Cocktail.
Simply pour the readymade Porn Star Martini mix into the appropriate glasses, add a cheeky slice of passionfruit and enjoy. Nobody will ever have to know you didn’t whip up the perfect mix yourself…
