Orgeat Syrup, also known as Almond Syrup, is a sweet syrup made from almonds, sugar, and either rose water or orange flower water, giving it a distinctive, aromatic flavor. It is a crucial ingredient in many classic and tiki cocktails, renowned for its ability to add a rich, nutty flavor and a touch of sweetness that balances well with the strong flavors of spirits and the acidity of citrus juices.

Orgeat is perhaps most famous for its role in the Mai Tai, where it complements the rum base and enhances the tropical notes of the drink. It's also used in other cocktails like the Scorpion and the Army Navy. Beyond these, orgeat can serve as a flavorful alternative to simple syrup in various cocktail recipes, providing a deeper flavor profile that is especially good at marrying the flavors of citrus and spice. Its unique taste and creamy texture make it a favorite among bartenders looking to craft sophisticated, layered drinks.
