Orgeat, handcrafted in small batches. How to pronounce Orgeat: Or-zhä(t). This French almond-based sweetener was mostly famously used in the Mai Tai, but has its place in a few other respected classics, such as the Japanese, Suissesse, and a few venerable tropical libations.
B.G. Reynolds’ Orgeat is made with almonds and cane sugar. Some naturally occurring gum is added to keep the almond oils from separating.
