Hanky Panky

This cocktail relies on a polarizing ingredient – Fernet-Branca. This amaro-like digestivo is extremely and uniquely flavorful and that in itself is the polarizing aspect. People either love it or hate it. Me? I like it… and since I have been on a huge amaro kick lately, this famous Italian fits into the stable neatly alongside the others. This cocktail was invented at London’s famed Savoy Hotel and is perfect for this chilly Friday of Negroni Week 2018. Yes, it is a negroni riff and it does an exemplary job representing this style.
