The Mai Tai, a component study in Mixology - Tiki Drinks and Food

Torani is my usual stock because it is available here and the TV is not, and the Collins brand is not very good. You can often buy or sometimes order orgeat by Monin, Torani, and Fee Bros from coffee shops. That said, due to a recent shortage of Torani here, I am considering making my own. The recipe Swanky posted is solid, but it could be made much simpler by purchasing almond milk from a health food store. Which is my intent. All of the brands I have seen contain almost no natural ingredients, so I am inclined to believe that a homemade version would be infinitely better. Ahu
