Though far from archetypal, the Only Fans Martini, with its vanilla-infused cachaça base, won over the judges at our Pornstar Martini blind tasting. The vanilla outshone the passion fruit here, but it only added to the indulgent, opulent quality of the drink. It was hands-down the most lavish of the group, “a guilty-pleasure drink” according to bartender Izzy Tulloch; despite the departure in base spirit, the trait felt in keeping with the essence of the original.
