Head to head
Hanky Panky and Negroni side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference
Gin and sweet vermouth in both. The Negroni adds Campari in equal parts; the Hanky Panky uses more gin and vermouth and only a small measure of Fernet-Branca, so it is herbal and minty-bitter rather than orange-bitter, and less sweet.
By the numbers
The Hanky Panky uses Fernet-Branca where the Negroni uses Campari; both have gin and sweet vermouth. In parts, a Hanky Panky is 1 gin and 1 vermouth; a Negroni is 1 gin, 1 Campari and 1 vermouth. By volume, the Hanky Panky is 54% fortified wine and bitter and 46% spirit; the Negroni is 67% fortified wine and bitter and 33% spirit.
The Negroni is the stronger drink in the glass (21.3% ABV against 20.0%), but the Hanky Panky is the bigger drink, so it holds more alcohol (1.59 standard drinks against 1.35). Calories are close (about 184 and 179), but the Negroni has more sugar (11.7 g against 7.1 g). The Hanky Panky is stirred and served in a coupe; the Negroni is built and served in a rocks glass.
