Tis the season for Year in Search – when Google looks back at the trends that captured Australia’s curiosity in 2025, including the most searched cocktail recipe: the Pornstar Martini.

It’s the third year in a row that the Pornstar Martini has taken out the number one spot. The cocktail features passionfruit liqueur, vanilla vodka, lime juice and champagne or prosecco. It was created by the co-founder of the London Academy of Bartending (Lab), Douglas Ankrah, who passed away in 2021. Ankrah invented the cocktail in 2002 at The Townhouse Bar in London.

“It was a complete accident,” he told Punch. “Sometimes writing a song can take two minutes or a year. I created this in 15 minutes or less. Like how Mick and Keith wrote ‘(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction’ in 10 minutes.”

In interviews, Ankrah claimed he used the “porn star” name to evoke “a stylish and confident drink…[that’s]…pure indulgence, sexy, fun and evocative”.

Pornstar Martini

• 2 passionfruit

• 15ml fresh lime juice
• 1/2 tbsp sugar syrup

Globally, the highest trending cocktail search of 2025 on Google was the Broken Plane. A riff on the Paper Plane cocktail (created by Melbourne bartender Sam Ross) the Broken Plane replaces Bourbon with gin and Aperol with elderflower liqueur.

It was created by recipe blogger Justine Doiron (Justine Snacks) in 2023. You can find the recipe here.

In second place was the London Calling cocktail, created by bartender Chris Jepson at London cocktail institution Milk & Honey in 2002 as a simple twist on a gin sour (with fino Sherry), followed by the French Martini (vodka, Chambord and pineapple juice) and Spanish favourite sangria.

The fifth trending cocktail was the Azalea, the signature cocktail of the Masters golf tournament. Much like the US Open Tennis Tournament’s wildly popular Honey Deuce, the Azalea has become legendary with golf fans. It’s made by mixing 1¼ oz vodka with 5 oz lemonade and ½ oz of grenadine over ice with a cherry and orange slice garnish.
