Christmas Pavlova Martini

A simple Stratton cocktail you can make at home.

Meet the Christmas Pavlova Martini:

a silky, fruity, festive show-off that tastes like dessert and drinks like a party.

RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

  • 45ml vodka (clean + crisp is best)

  • 20ml vanilla syrup (store-bought or homemade: sugar + water + vanilla pod = instant smugness)

  • 20ml passionfruit pulp (fresh or tinned - we don’t judge)

  • 20ml lemon juice (fresh, always - it’s Christmas, not a school dance)

  • 30ml coconut cream (for that creamy, naughty pavlova energy)

  • Optional: 1 egg white or 30ml aquafaba for a luscious, snowy froth

  • Garnish: dehydrated passionfruit slice, fresh berries, or a tiny crushed-meringue rim

 METHOD

  1. Add all ingredients into a cocktail shaker.

  2. Dry shake (no ice!) for 15–20 seconds to build that dreamy pavlova cloud.

  3. Add ice and shake again for 10–12 seconds - think “Christmas-morning excitement” energy.

  4. Double strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass.

  5. Garnish with a passionfruit float, a berry, or a flirty kiss of crushed meringue on the rim. (Festive? Absolutely. Over the top? Never too much.)
