Notes
The Hanky Panky Cocktail was created by Ada Coleman in the early 1900's at the Savoy Hotel in London. Coleman served a variety of well known people during her time at the Savoy including actor Sir Charles Hawtrey. Hawtrey was a lover of cocktails, so Coleman strived to create something for him. That creation was the Hanky Panky cocktail.
