This Sunday Sesh we are raising our glasses to the Hanky Panky !
The cocktail was created by bartending legend Ada ‘Coley’ Coleman, the first female head bartender at the Savoy.. When describing the creation of the cocktail she recounted “The late Charles Hawtrey… was one of the best judges of cocktails that I knew. Some years ago, when he was over working, he used to come into the bar and say, ‘Coley, I am tired. Give me something with a bit of punch in it.’ It was for him that I spent hours experimenting until I had invented a new cocktail. The next time he came in, I told him I had a new drink for him. He sipped it, and, draining the glass, he said, ‘By Jove! That is the real hanky-panky!’ And Hanky-Panky it has been called ever since.”
- In honour of the greats I'd say It's time to get a little Hanky Panky! Dust off that cocktail shaker and get in!
