Orgeat syrup is a sweet almond-based syrup characterized by subtle almond flavor combined with rose water or orange flower water notes.
Originally made from barley (orge in French, hence the name), it is now typically made from almonds. It has been a traditional ingredient in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean regions for centuries.
A key ingredient in Mai Tais, it adds a nutty, smooth sweetness to tropical cocktails. It is also widely used in Japanese-style cocktails and tiki drinks.
