NOTES
It's said by some that its creator, bartender Douglas Ankrah, thought it was what a porn star would order; other stories hold that he was inspired by the smell of a stripper's perfume. In any case, this crowd-pleasing combination of vanilla and passion fruit accompanied by a shot of sparkling wine, which has spread far from its origins at London’s Townhouse bar in the early 2000s to be adopted by bars the world over, certainly is a star.
