45 ml/ 1 ½ oz. Vermouth Rosso
2 dashes of Fernet Branca

METHOD

Stir all ingredients with ice.
Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Garnish by squeezing an orange peel over the top.

NOTES

In 1920, the actor Charles Hawtrey wanted a drink in the American bar of the famous Savoy Hotel, which should liven him up after a long working day. The bartender Ada Coleman mixed a drink especially for him, which obviously delighted him. He used the expression: “By Jove. That is the real Hanky Panky “.
