I think people were initially a little scandalized by the name, especially in the South. Coming from New York, I obviously had more than several at several different places. I frequented pretty much every cocktail bar in the city and did not see it anywhere. When we first put the drink on the menu it was, from what I understand, not on any other menus in Birmingham at that time. L: I know, I just need to open a bar called Pornstar, but I don’t think the Alabama government would let me. L: Just to give you an idea of where it is in terms of, it’s more popular than the drink we named the bar after. I want to say the Queen’s Park Swizzle is No. The bar is actually named after another cocktail, the Queen’s Park Swizzle, and yet the Pornstar Martini is No. We’ve had it on the menu without stop since we opened, and it is hands down the best-selling drink of all time at this bar by a really large margin.

T: Well, that is a title anyone should be proud to have. L: I’m still not sure who told you this about me, but I’m extremely flattered. Those were the words “ Pornstar Martini expert.” T: I was looking at a copy of your résumé earlier - it was very impressive - and one thing stood out to me. Laura Newman: Well, thanks for having me. Tim McKirdy: Hey, this is Tim McKirdy, and welcome to VinePair’s “Cocktail College.” We have Laura Newman joining us today, everyone.
