Hanky Panky Recipe

If you went back in time and visited any trendy bar at the turn of the 20th century, you’d be sure to find a Hanky Panky Cocktail on the menu. It’s classic, sophisticated and super easy to recreate at home.

Total Time

Servings: 1 drink
Course: Others

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 ounces gin
  • 1 1/2 ounces sweet vermouth
  • 1/8 ounce fernet ½ teaspoon (see note)
  • 1 cup Ice cubes
  • 1 orange for the garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the cocktail glass in the freezer to chill.
  2. Add the ice to a mixing glass. Add the gin, sweet vermouth and fernet, stirring until chilled.
  3. Strain the mixture into the chilled cocktail glass.
  4. Cut a long, narrow strip of orange peel using a channel knife (or paring knife) over the top of the glass. This allows the essential oils of the orange to flavor the drink.
  5. Add the orange twist to the rim of the glass with part of it dangling into the drink. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Fernet: The original recipe uses Fernet-Branca, but I’ve found Contratto Fernet, Faccia Brutto or Fernet Pianta also work well.
