Orgeat Recipes

Pronounced “or-zhat,” orgeat syrup is a non-alcoholic sweetener that’s commonly made with almonds, sugar, and orange flower water. You’ll see orgeat syrup frequently used in Tiki cocktail recipes like this one!

Because of the high almond content, orgeat syrup is a bit milky in texture. It can be purchased at liquor stores, some grocery stores, and Amazon.

Look for orgeat syrup that’s made with real ingredients — i.e. doesn’t contain artificial flavors or colors.

Some substitutes for orgeat syrup you can use include: almond syrup, plain simple syrup, or amaretto (although amaretto will have alcohol unlike orgeat).
