Stir Gin, Sweet Vermouth, Dry Vermouth, Fernet Branca with ice. Strain into a coupe.

I recently came across a mention of the Dickensian Villain cocktail and remembered how well Fernet Branca and grenadine worked together in it and other drinks. This combination reminded me of two gin cocktails from the Savoy Cocktail Book: the Hanky Panky with its Fernet and the Atta Boy featuring grenadine. Curious about what blending these would produce, I decided to pay homage to Ada Coleman, who created the Hanky Panky, by naming this new concoction the Atta Girl.
