MEET THE MOTH: PASSIONFRUIT MARTINI
Tropical, rich, romantic. Your x-rated icon – with a sophisticated refresh. It’s velveteen vanilla kisses. And more layers than you may know. Still shimmies to that nickname, though.
Expect silky drapes of mango and peach, on passionfruit pillows. With award-winning Wood Brother’s Vodka – smooth as skating over clear ice. Thick as a sonderous lick of ice cream. Gaze out on the ocean. Think about that love letter that needs replying to?
PASSIONFRUIT MARTINI’S HISTORY:
A WORLDWIDE CRUSH
This one’s got global soul. Brazilian at heart – and born as the passionfruit Caipiroska (a vodka Caipirinha). But a London local since the noughties, where the X-rated version you may know came to be. No one really knows why it gained that nickname – but we all have them right? Though ours is all passion. Rich, tropical – with a plush, luxurious foam. An ode to its rainforest roots.
COCKTAIL CURIOUSITIES:
TRUE PASSION HAS LAYERS
The UK’s fave cocktail. A staple across the nation – at swish spots and high-street bars alike. Usually your first cocktail introduction – maybe with a shot of prosecco?
But ours is the most delicious one out there, elevating the infamous classic. There’s levels to it – juicy tastes of fresh peach, mango, passionfruit. Sumptuous vanilla. And a clean, crisp English vodka from Wood Brothers.
Fun fact: Passionfruit is known for it’s calming properties in its native Brazil. We knew there was something serene about that deep, rich purple.
