Army & Navy

Orgeat replaces the simple syrup here in what is essentially a gin sour. There are many available specs for this particular cocktail. The original had a 4:1:1 ratio and the version in Embry’s The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks has an 8:2:1 ratio. This is one cocktail where I don’t mind it leaning towards the sweeter side and I really do enjoy the orgeat being so strongly featured. Wonderfully simple, it’s delicious.
