Brunch star martini
This mocktail has all the complex flavour and fruity fun of the popular pornstar martini, without any of the alcohol. The chamomile tea brings softness and richness to this drink.
Ingredients
- 100ml/3½fl oz freshly-brewed chamomile tea, from 1 chamomile tea bag
- 2 tsp golden caster sugar
- 2 ripe passion fruits, halved
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 lemon, juice only
- 1 egg white (see recipe tip)
- ice
- 100ml/3½fl oz sparkling apple juice
Method
Dissolve the sugar in the tea and allow to cool.
Tip the sweetened tea into a cocktail shaker along with the flesh and seeds from one of the passion fruits, the vanilla, lemon juice and egg white. Add a large handful of ice and shake the mixture really well. Strain to discard the ice then return the mixture to the cocktail shaker and shake again.
Fine strain into two chilled martini or coupe glasses. Top with sparkling apple juice and float the remaining passionfruit halves on the top
Recipe Tips
You can use sparkling grape juice or an alcohol-free Prosecco alternative instead of sparkling apple juice if you prefer.
If you are concerned about eating raw egg whites, you can buy pasteurised egg whites from some supermarkets. Raw eggs should be avoided during pregnancy.
