"It’s Tiki Tuesday, so it’s time for another BG Reynolds feature. This week, it’s their Original Orgeat!
I find orgeat to be one of the trickier cocktail syrups. Other commercial brands I’ve tried, but even homemade, have a really strong almond flavour. But in a bad way—sharp, and almost medicinal.
