Marks and Spencer’s Passion Star Martini now comes in a bottle that costs £5

Back in 2018, Marks and Spencer answered all our prayers by bringing out Porn Star Martinis - later re-named to Passion Star Martini - in a can.

Now Marks and Spencer are selling the popular drink in a bottle version - brought to our attention by UK rapper Wiley.

The honey-coloured cocktail contains passion fruit juice, vanilla flavouring and two measures of vodka for £5.

All you need to do is add that all important shot of prosecco. With an 8% ABV, we’ll be stocking up on this - ready for the weekend and good weather.

The Heatwave hit maker posted a video of the bottle on his Instagram and as you can imagine, fans have gone wild.

With the video already having over 20,000 views. Comments from fans included "I'll have five please."

"So tempted to get some"

"I've only seen the cans"

Sadly the cans and bottles of Passion Star Martini aren't available online, but we've compiled a list of websites that deliver booze straight to your door, ready for the weekend.

When it was first brought out at the end of 2018, M&S was the first retailer to bring the Porn Star Martini to the high street. It described the tipple as "Elevating M&S’s extensive selection of quality on the go drinks, the new Porn Star Martini is deliciously sweet and exotic, blending passion fruit with vodka.”

The Porn Star Martini joins the retailer’s range of 18 different canned cocktail offerings that includes pink gin and tonic, Mojito, Blackberry gin bramble and Aperitivo Spritzer.

M&S was forced to re-name the cocktail last year to Passion Star Martini as the Portman Group,the body responsible for drinks producers in the UK, received a complaint about the reference to ‘porn stars' in its name.

Even though the name is used on bar menus across the world, the complaint argued that the drink was linked with alcohol and sexual success, which breaches one of the watchdog’s rules that no drink should suggest any association with sexual activity, indirectly or otherwise.
