Cocktail retailers in the UK were forced to change the name of their Porn Star Martini after receiving complaints it was too “sexual.” The passion fruit alcoholic drink sparked an outcry from a campaign group for “normalising porn.” Despite being one of Britain’s most popular choices on a cocktail menu, the company had to rename the drink a Passion Star Martini.
The public immediately responded with backlash: “If you continue to allow this, it will open the floodgates to others e.g. Sex on the Beach, Slippery Nipple, Sloe Comfortable Screw, Liquid Viagra etc.” Another person said online, “You do realise that a pornstar martini, has nothing to do with Porn. It’s a modern classic cocktail, served in every cocktail bar in the UK.” The drink’s creator also chimed in by saying, “The drink is very evocative and tantalising. I called it Pornstar because I thought it was something that a porn star would drink, there’s nothing sexual there.”
