The Army & Navy is a classic cocktail that can be seen as a twist on the Gin Sour with substituting simple syrup and egg whites with orgeat (almond) syrup.
Army & Navy boasts a rich history and a delightful balance of flavors. The result of mixing the ingredients is a harmonious blend of sweet, sour, and herbal elements that dance on the palate.
Its origins trace back to the early 20th century, and it remains a timeless choice for those who appreciate the art of mixology and a well-crafted cocktail.
