Sample popular cocktail, stamp your passport at these downtown Las Vegas bars
The spirit is willing. The flesh is willing, too.
PornStar Martini Week runs from Sept. 1 to 7 in downtown Las Vegas. A dirty dozen downtown bars and restaurants are pouring their versions of the PornStar Martini, so called because passion fruit liqueur is the dominant flavor. Chinola, a maker of passion fruit and other fresh fruit liqueurs, is a sponsor of the week.
Imbibers may pick up a PornStar Passport at any participating bar, then get the passport stamped every time they try a different Chinola PornStar Martini. Those who collect stamps from five or more different bars may collect a gift package at the PornStar Week wrap party that runs from 9 p.m. to midnight Sept. 7 at Petite Boheme. The party also features sample cocktails, giveaways and a spicy surprise.
Here are the participating bars (hours vary):
— Bar Boheme, 1401 S. Main St.
— CC Speakeasy at Craft Creamery, 1 E. Charleston Blvd., Suite 100
— Dark Sister, 1410 S. Main St.

A 2002 visit to a London strip club inspired the late Douglas Ankrah, a revered London bartender, to create the PornStar Martini. Besides passion fruit liqueur, the cocktail harnesses vanilla vodka and sparkling wine. Use #pstarmartiniweek.
