The Hanky Panky has the unmistakable character of the early 20th century, but its bold flavor and simple preparation keep it relevant over a hundred years on.
As the story goes, English stage actor Sir Charles Hawtrey sauntered into the bar at the Savoy Hotel and asked for something “with a bit of a punch.” Bartender Ada Coleman produced this sweet Martini riff with a splash of minty Fernet Branca, prompting a pleased Hawtrey to call it “the real hanky panky!”
Stir all ingredients with ice until well-chilled. Strain into an ice-filled short glass. Garnish with an orange twist.
The Cocktail Party app puts this drink – and hundreds more – in your pocket, and tells you what you can make from the ingredients you have at home. It’s the best $3.99 you’ll ever spend on a drink.
