Hanky Panky

Hanky Panky suits someone looking for bitter, herbal and strong rather than a generic sweet cocktail. Its lean, light body makes it better for deliberate sipping. Compared with Clover Leaf, it leans more bitter. The bitter character remains noticeable into the finish rather than disappearing after the first sip. Charcuterie and Olives are the first pairing directions in the index, while Clover Leaf offers a useful comparison.
