Hanky Panky: ingredient choices

Which bitter ingredient should I check before making this?

Kokto’s catalog uses the broad aperitif-and-amaro ingredient family with gin and sweet vermouth. That family is not a promise that any bitter bottle is equivalent; verify the intended style against your chosen specification.

Compare Martinez: ingredients and measures

The IBA reference specifically calls for fernet. Kokto’s broader amaro family should not be interpreted as permission to substitute any amaro; check that bottle identity before mixing.
