Orgeat is a Cocktail Syrup that is used in a variety of Tiki Cocktails like the Mai Tai. It was originally made with Barley, but was eventually changed. It was also made using some Bitter Almonds at one point, but because they contain Cyanide and can be deadly at large quantities, only Sweet Almonds are used now.
