Van Dyke's Porn Star

By Aurora Rodríguez

The upstairs lounge at the Van Dyke Café on Lincoln Road is Miami’s original speakeasy where locals and tourists can listen to Latin jazz music. Arrive early on Friday or Saturday to get a table, because once the music starts the crowd grows. One signature cocktail to try is the Porn Star. The naughty citrus martini served with a champagne shot will have you fueled up for the rest of your evening.

Directions

Fill cocktail shaker with ice.

Add 1 1/2 ounces of Van Gogh vodka

Add 1/2 an ounce of Passion liquor

Add 1/2 an ounce of apple juice

Add 1/2 an ounce of passion fruit puree.

Shake vigorously

Strain into a martini glass

Pour a shot of champagne into a flute and serve tableside to drink separately or mix.

FYI: The Porn Star is around $14 at the Van Dyke Café, 846 Lincoln Rd, Miami Beach; 305-534-3600.
