History of World Passion Fruit Martini Day

Martinis have a fairly fuzzy history and no one knows exactly who first started drinking this mix of gin and vermouth, or vodka and vermouth for a vodka martini. But the history of the drink dates back more than a century, with some people claiming it has a relationship with the town, Martinez, California, which is near San Francisco.

Passion Fruit Martinis came about in the early 2000s, created by a notorious bartender at a famous bar in London. The bartender’s hope for this tropical cocktail was to create a drink that was unique, with an evocative and tantalizing taste experience. And anyone who has enjoyed a premium passion fruit martini can attest that it is just that!

More than just a drink, the passion fruit martini has now become a bit of an icon in British culture. The origins of the fun and festivities of World Passion Fruit Martini Day can be attributed to Funkin Cocktails, who founded the day in 2021 with the purpose of showing appreciation for this, one of the UK’s favorite mixed drinks.
