The porn star martini is regularly reported to be the most popular cocktail in the United Kingdom it was invented by Douglas Ankrah, owner of the LAB London bar in London, United Kingdom, in 1999.
Although the name has proved controversial, Ankrah has denied that he named it a “porn star” martini to be deliberately provocative. In interviews, Ankrah claimed he used the “porn star” name to evoke “a stylish and confident drink…[that’s]….pure indulgence, sexy, fun and evocative”. Ankrah has also denied being a fan of pornography, or idolising any porn stars in particular.
In 2019, British retailer Marks & Spencer renamed their tinned Porn Star Martini drinks to Passion Star Martini, following complaints that the name normalised pornography.
