The Bitter Mai Tai - with home made Orgeat

Orgeat is one of the most delicious cocktail syrups, and (lucky you!) we have the easiest recipe to make at home from scratch with fresh almonds in no time.
Once you taste it, there's no going back!

It's a new world of incredible cocktails opening to you, with this perfect addition to your home bar.
But it doesn't stop there, we couldn't make this video without giving a nod to one of the most classic cocktails showcasing orgeat at its best: The Mai Tai.

We like to keep things exciting, so this one has an interesting twist for a surprising and incredibly delicious variation on your favorite version of the mighty Mai Tai.
Cheers! 🍸✨
