Orgreat Syrup 17.5 Oz

Pronounced or-zhat, orgeat is a French almond syrup, originally made from barley and used as a shelf-stable substitute for milk. Many cultures have versions, from Valencian Arcata to Dutch orangeade to Mexican horchata.

Made from California almonds and a small proportion of apricot kernels to give it a distinct marzipan flavor without the addition of extract. Organic cane sugar, orange flower water and biodynamic California brandy are added to result in a rich, flavorful syrup with delicate floral notes.

Orgeat is used in the Mai Tai, a drink first created at Trader Vics in Oakland in 1944, as well as the Japanese Cocktail and various absinthe concoctions. It is also delicious as a spritzer with seltzer or used to sweeten lemonade.
