Head to head
Gibson and Hanky Panky side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference, by the numbers
Both have gin. Only the Gibson has dry vermouth; only the Hanky Panky has sweet vermouth and Fernet-Branca. In parts, a Gibson is 1 gin and 1 vermouth; a Hanky Panky is 1 gin and 1 vermouth. By volume, the Gibson is 50% spirit and 50% fortified wine and bitter; the Hanky Panky is 54% fortified wine and bitter and 46% spirit. That makes them close cousins on the ratio map.
They are about equally strong in the glass (both 20.0% ABV), but the Hanky Panky is the bigger drink, so it holds more alcohol (1.59 standard drinks against 1.47). The Hanky Panky has more calories (about 184 against 150) and more sugar (7.1 g against 1.4 g). Both are stirred; the Gibson is served in a martini glass, the Hanky Panky in a coupe.
