Fans of the delicious Passion Star Martini canned cocktail from M&S are in for a treat.
The drink – which contains two measures of vodka – has been updated for summer.
It’s been given a fruity raspberry twist and is now pink!
The new addition to the boozy family still features passionfruit and vanilla, but adding raspberry apparently makes it taste like raspberry ripple ice cream.

“Perfect for summery drinks on the balcony or in the garden,” an M&S rep said.
The original M&S Passion Star Martini launched in September 2018 and swiftly moved up the cocktails in a can bestsellers list.

It even became more popular than the trusty G&T to become the country’s number one choice.
The store even sells its original Passion Star Martini in a 75cl bottle now.

Post-lockdown train treats
Others said they couldn’t wait to enjoy them on a train post-lockdown.
“We need to buy these and drink them on a train whilst we’re headed to some place to drink more booze!” one canned drink fan commented.
“Let’s get these when we are back together,” another said, tagging her pals.
“We need these for our get out of jail party when the pandemic is over,” another commented.

Originally sold as a canned porn star martini, M&S had to change the name after the Portman Group – the body responsible for drinks producers in the UK – received a complaint about the reference to porn stars in its name.
