Hanky Panky

Hanky Panky was created in the 1920s by Ada Coleman, the first female bartender at the American Bar of the Savoy Hotel. It is made with London dry gin, sweet red vermouth, and a dash of Fernet. The name was a slang term at the time meaning 'magic' or 'spell', reflecting the unique experience brought by the addition of the Italian herbal liqueur.

Flavor

Hanky Panky presents a complex profile, starting with the juniper notes of the gin, followed by the sweetness of the sweet red vermouth, and finishing with the bitterness and herbal notes of the Fernet.
