Orgeat

Cultural Context

Orgeat syrup has its roots in the Mediterranean, particularly in France and Spain, where it has been enjoyed since the Middle Ages. Traditionally made from almonds, it was initially used as a refreshing drink during hot weather. Today, orgeat is a staple in tropical cocktails, such as the Mai Tai, and is celebrated for its sweet, nutty flavor and creamy texture. Its versatility has led to global popularity, with variations appearing in different cultures, particularly in tiki bars.
