Ada Coleman became the second person to hold the post of Head
Bartender
at the Savoy in 1898. She later created the cocktail for English
comedy
actor Charles Hawtrey, who asked her for "something with a bit of
punch
in it". The first time he tasted the results of her hours of
experimentation, he replied, "By jove! That's the real hanky panky!"
And the name stuck!

What does everyone think?
