May 31-Army and Navy

I’m a little disappointed that this cocktail has the name Army and Navy and it doesn’t use Navy Strength Rum or Gin. Oh my god I just realized this cocktail does in fact have gin but its just London Dry. Don’t get me wrong, I know why this cocktail got its name. It’s from the Army and Navy Club in DC, but even still, why no Navy Strength ingredients.

This cocktail was a problematic recipe before, it started with a straight 2 : 1 : 1 ratio of ingredients but that evolved later to what we know now. This cocktail actually reminds me of a Gimlet with lemon and Orgeat instead of lime and simple.

Overall I like this cocktail and urge you to try it.
