We like football, gin, traditions, tiki bars, and clever blog names. Let’s blend them right here, right now. There’s nothing traditional about college football anymore except maybe for some long-time rivalries like the Army/Navy game. Meanwhile, we didn’t know there is a gin cocktail called the Army/Navy but, of course, there is. So we tried making one to get in shape for the annual game which won’t happen until December… but we want to be prepared. Our search of the InterWeb turned up several recipes but we thought we should give the Moody Mixologist a try. Click here for their site and recipe but we’re talking 2 ounces of gin, ¾ ounce lemon juice, ½ ounce of orgeat (almond syrup), and one dash of Angostura bitters. It provides a hint of that tiki bar cocktail flavor and it looks good, too. Rah-Rah!
