This classic cocktail made with gin, sweet vermouth, and bitter fernet was first created in the 1920s by Ada Coleman, head bartender of The Savoy Hotel’s American Bar in London, and named after actor Sir Charles Hawtrey (but not the one of Carry On film fame).

　　1½ oz. (45ml) sweet vermouth

　　2 dashes Fernet-Branca

　　Strip of orange peel, to serve
