The Ratings
1. Greymatter – 8/10
Budget: ₦11,500
This is where it all started! The Pornstar Martini here was so good it inspired our entire tour. The balance of passion fruit, vanilla, and Prosecco was just right, making it a top contender.
2. HQ Rooftop, Lekki – 7/10
Budget: ₦11,000
This one packed a strong punch! It was served with a shot of Champagne, which added a nice touch. The bartender mentioned that the Prosecco, Champagne, or even vodka helps cleanse your palate—(is this true? Cocktail experts, let us know!).
3. Mood Lagos, Lekki – 7/10
Budget: ₦9,500
A solid choice with a great consistency and blend. If you like your Pornstar Martini well-balanced, this one won’t disappoint!
4. Mercury – 7/10
Budget: ₦12,000
This had a signature twist that made it stand out. The flavors were rich, and the presentation was on point.
5. Dani – 7/10
Budget: ₦13,000
A sweet and flavorful take on the classic Pornstar Martini. If you prefer your cocktails on the sweeter side, this might be your pick!
6. Dulce – 7/10
Budget: ₦11,000
Strong, well-crafted, and had a bit of a creative twist. A great option for those who like their drinks bold.
7. Labelle – 7/10
Budget: ₦10,000
A delicious option with a great balance of flavors. Definitely worth trying!
8. RSVP – 6/10
Budget:
This one fell a bit short on consistency and flavor. It also had seeds in it, which we weren’t expecting. Maybe an off day?
9. Fiora – 5/10
Budget: ₦10,900
Needs a bit more work on all aspects. The flavors didn’t quite hit the mark.
10. Boca – 5/10
Budget:
A new premium restaurant owned by the same people behind Slow & RSVP, so we had high expectations. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite meet them this time.
