Pull on a flapper dress, bring out the Bombay Sapphire and strike up some big band jazz, we're showing you how to drink like you're at the Savoy in the Twenties
Hanky Panky

- Glassware: Grappa tulip
- Ice: Shaken with good quality cubed
- Garnish: Large lemon peel twist wrapped around the stem of the glass (tied)
Method: Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker tin and add cubed ice. Attach the Hawthorne strainer to the top and then pour the liquid into another ice filled cocktail shaker tin. Swap the Hawthorne strainer to the other tin and repeat the process 5 times to and fro. This method is called throwing and is a fine art to master properly. It's a way of chilling the liquid without as much dilution as shaking but colder than stirring.
