Army Navy

Gin | Orgeat | Lemon

The Army & Navy cocktail is a classic from the mid-20th century. First popularized in David Embury’s 1948 book The "Fine Art of Mixing Drinks", it is essentially an elevated Gin Sour. Instead of simple syrup, it uses orgeat—a rich, velvety almond syrup flavored with a touch of orange flower water. The combination of herbal gin, tart lemon, and nutty, floral orgeat creates an incredibly complex but refreshing drink. Shake this drink hard. The fats in the almond-based orgeat will emulsify slightly under heavy shaking, giving the cocktail a gorgeous, silky mouthfeel and a light, frothy head
