You might not picture today’s tailgaters clanking coupe glasses, but by some accounts, the Army & Navy was invented to honor the centuries-old football game between the United States military and naval academies. Like many classics, however, this bright and nutty mix of gin, lemon juice, and orgeat has a vague backstory: The cocktail has also been tied to the The Army and Navy Club in Washington, D.C., a members-only officers’ club where the Daiquiri was first served in the U.S. The club has no details on the Army & Navy’s origins but likely helped popularize the drink, which remains on its cocktail menu today.
