Essentially a variation on a Daquiri with the substitution of orgeat for simple syrup, takes the Navy and Army a notch above the Daquiri in my opinion. The nuttiness and spice notes of the orgeat make the drink far more complex and the addition of the nutmeg garnish, a nod to orgeat's use in tiki or exotic cocktails adds a great aromatic introduction. I will happily make this cocktail again.
Navy and Army
- 2 ounces spiced rum
- 3/4 ounce orgeat
- 3/4 ounce lime
Shake rum, orgeat, and lime; double strain into a cocktail glass; garnish with a lime wheel or grated nutmeg.
