Hanky Panky

IBA

Created in the early 1900s by Ada Coleman, one of the few celebrated female head bartenders of her generation at London's Savoy Hotel, this cocktail carries genuine historical weight in the craft. The small measure of Fernet-Branca cuts through the sweetness of vermouth with a menthol-herbal sharpness, giving the gin-forward drink an unexpected and memorable finish.
