Orgeat syrup is a sweet, almond-flavored syrup commonly used in cocktails and desserts. It is made from a mixture of sugar, water, and almonds, often with the addition of orange flower water for extra flavor. The syrup has a creamy texture and a distinct nutty taste, making it a popular ingredient in tropical drinks. Originally from the Mediterranean region, orgeat syrup has become a staple in Tiki cocktails like the Mai Tai. It can also be used in non-alcoholic beverages and various culinary applications, adding a unique sweetness and depth to recipes.
