The Army & Navy, or just Army Navy, is the kind of drink that makes you feel classy just by saying its name. It’s gin-based, slightly tart, and has been around long enough to have stories nobody can quite verify. Don’t be fooled by the name; this isn’t a government-issued drink. But it does bring a kind of wartime bravado to your glass. A Toast to History (or a Wild Guess?

It was created back in 1957 by Hawaiian bartender Henry Yee—the same guy who gave us the Banana Daiquiri and made tiny cocktail umbrellas popular.
