Description:
The Hanky-Panky was created by Ada Coleman, the celebrated bartender of the American Bar at the Savoy Hotel in London. It is one of the rare classic cocktails with a well-known creator. The key accent is fernet: it adds bitter herbal depth to gin and sweet vermouth. The result is a short, rich, aromatic cocktail for drinkers who enjoy pronounced bitterness.
