Hanky Panky

For Friday the 13th, here’s one that has become a standby here at the Fogged In Lounge, Ada Coleman’s Hanky Panky. It’s a Savoy Cocktail so I’ll let Erik tell the story. I like the Hanky Panky with Punt e Mes in place of regular sweet vermouth, though if made that way following the printed formula, it becomes too heavy for me.

  1. The phrase "Hanky Panky" always makes me think of that awful Madonna song. I won't desiccate your blog with quoted lyrics but I might drink one of these very soon.

    Cheers!
