Army and Navy

One of the several competing origin stories for this drink suggests it was created to celebrate a soccer game between the British army and navy in the 1940s. Though technically a ‘sour’, the addition of almondy orgeat, lemon and bitters to an appropriately naval strength gin gives the drink a subtle but transportive tiki note, perfect for sipping an afternoon away- whether it’s after a big game or not.
