Our Orgeat Syrup is more than just a sweet almond addition to cocktails — it’s a flavour-packed, aromatic staple you’ll want to keep on hand all year round.
With its nutty, subtly floral notes, this syrup adds instant depth and sophistication to both drinks and dishes.
Here are three tasty and surprisingly easy ways to put your orgeat syrup to work:
1. Mix a Classic Mai Tai (or a Non-Alc Twist)
No list would be complete without the Mai Tai — a tiki bar icon and the original reason orgeat earned its cult following. Just mix:
- 30ml white rum
- 30ml dark rum
- 15ml orgeat syrup
- 15ml orange curaçao
- 30ml lime juice
Shake with ice, strain into a glass, and garnish with fresh mint and lime. Going non-alc? Swap the alcohol for pineapple juice and soda water for a refreshing tropical spritz.
2. Add a Twist to Your Coffee
Give your morning cup a nutty lift! A dash (10–15ml) of orgeat syrup in your coffee or iced latte adds a toasty almond sweetness that pairs beautifully with espresso. It’s a unique alternative to hazelnut or vanilla — especially for those who like their coffee a little more luxe.
Bonus tip: Orgeat works a treat in cold brew or oat milk lattes.
3. Drizzle Over Desserts
Orgeat’s creamy almond flavour makes it a secret weapon in the kitchen. Drizzle a spoonful over:
- Vanilla ice cream
- Warm brownies
- Poached pears or stone fruit
- Greek yoghurt with granola
It adds a nutty, lightly floral finish that elevates even the simplest desserts into something café-worthy.
Final Tip: A Little Goes a Long Way
Orgeat is rich, fragrant, and full of personality — a small splash can completely transform a drink or dish. Whether you’re shaking up cocktails or sweetening your morning coffee, this syrup is your new go-to for something a little different.
