What is navy strength?
Navy strength
Spirit bottled at about 57 percent alcohol, the old British navy standard. Usually gin or rum, bold enough to stand up in cocktails.
What it tastes like
Everything turned up: more juniper or molasses, more heat, more flavor that survives ice and citrus.
Where you’ll see it
Gin and rum lists and cocktail menus, especially gimlets, martinis and tiki drinks that want extra punch.
