About this episode
It's the Army & Navy, folks, an orgeat-sweetened gin sour (sans egg white) that seems to be perenially there, hiding in plain sight — camouflaged, if you will. Joining us to talk through this relatively anonymous classic is Ben Brown, beverage director of New York's Porchlight. Listen on for tips on how to make your own orgeat, ideal sour specs, and general chat on David A. Embury's curmudgeonly nature. Listen on (or read below) to discover Brown's Army & Navy recipe — and don’t forget to subscribe!
