Door Knock's Chloe Amour recipe is a knockout passionfruit cocktail
This Door Knock riff is inspired by a 2002 London passionfruit classic.
This drink is one of the Boothby Top 50 Drinks of the Year 2022 — you can see the full Top 50 here.
The Porn Star Martini is a curious drink. It's hugely popular in the UK, so much so that it's regularly cited as a modern classic cocktail, but the Douglas Ankrah creation — which dates back to London, 2002 — has been largely absent from Australian shores until recent times.
Door Knock's Chloe Amour cocktail — whose namesake, we're reliably told, is an adult entertainment star herself — is inspired by the Ankrah's original, but takes the passionfruit in a different, less cloying direction.
“The Porn Star Martini is making a return, but this time we have made it better with tequila,” says Chloe Amour creator Liam Gavin. “Bringing in some old fashioned classics from our [younger] years — how good was PassionPop in a public park?”
