The Hanky ​​Panky is a drink made up of only 3 ingredients, two of which are from the Italian tradition: vermouth and fernet.

A classic but also extremely modern cocktail thanks to the perfect balance between Vermouth and Gin and the boost given by the Fernet, which makes it unmistakable.

The Hanky ​​Panky is also the first cocktail to be invented by a woman: Ada Coleman. It is 1920 and 'Coley', as she was known by all, was head bar lady at the Amercan Bar in London's Savoy Hotel.

But why is it called Hanky ​​Panky?

The American Bar in London in the 1920s was frequented by celebrities and Charles Hawtrey, a musical comedian of the time and a great lover of cocktails, used to have his last drink of the day right in the bar of the most luxurious hotel of Great Britain.

Ada Coleman decided to create a cocktail especially for him. Hawtrey one evening, after tasting it exclaimed: "By Jove! This is a Hanky ​​Panky" which means "You fooled me!" in an ironic sense, because that drink was truly remarkable.

Today we present the Aviation, the most delicate cocktail in the world based on Gin43 Fred Jerbis, Maraschino and Creme Violette Fred Alkemil.

The Aviation is a historic cocktail born in 1916 from the expert hands of Hugo Ensslin, barman of the Wallick Hotel in New York.

In 1930 the Savoy Cocktail Book published the Aviation recipe without the violet liqueur and therefore the cocktail lost its purple color and its delicate taste.

Only in 2007 was the Creme Violette reintroduced and the Aviation returned to being that purple and elegant cocktail that we all love today. It has been an official IBA cocktail since 2011.

Why is it called Aviation? Because it was dedicated to British airmen during the Second World War.

A drink that is served in a cup and with a cherry as a decoration.
