The Hanky Panky starts as equal parts gin and sweet vermouth, then takes just enough Fernet-Branca to push it into bitter, minty territory. Measure the Fernet carefully; a little goes a long way, and two dashes is already plenty. Stir until very cold and strain into a chilled coupe, where the orange twist lifts the herbs.
