The Hanky Panky Cocktail

Ada Coleman's classic cocktail, the Hanky Panky, was invented when Sir Charles Hawtree visited the American Bar at the Savoy Hotel and asked her to make some “with a bit of punch in it.” Ada's answer to that challenge was a sublime cocktail of her own creation, which elicited perhaps the most wonderful exclamation by any human ever from Hawtree - "By Jove! That is the real hanky panky!"

The Handmade Cocktail Company's Hanky Panky cocktail features fantastic English dry gin, sweet vermouth and the unmistakable Fernet Branca.

The concept of the ‘Vintage Cocktail’ range is simple – you get all the ingredients for a superb cocktail pre-mixed, all you have to do is pour it over ice, stir, then strain off into your glass and garnish (in this instance with a healthy slice of fresh orange). Each bottle carries a stamp showing its year of manufacture.
