Basically a bittered, Sweet Martini (or a bittered, Gin-y Manhattan?!), this classic was first served at Londons storied Savoy Hotel in the early 20th century by head bartender Ada Coleman. As she relates it, a particularly saucy regular patron, actor Sir Charles Hawtrey, requested one evening a drink with a bit of a punch. Some gin, sweet vermouth, and just a wee bit of bitter Fernet Branca came together to make something the actor called the real hanky panky. The name stuck, and to this day, the drink has as well.
