Origin & Story
London, 2002
Bartender Douglas Ankrah created it at London's Townhouse bar, reportedly naming it after a customer who said it was 'so good it should be pornographic.' It became one of the UK's most-ordered cocktails in the 2010s and spread globally, always served with that distinctive side shot of prosecco.
