These days of the orgeat's I've tried: 1a Latitude 29 - I tend to grab this one for tiki drinks with a spice profile or that are really rum forward. 1b Liber & Co - I tend to use this one in other drinks. The flower water comes through and I find it doesn't go as well with drinks that tend towards a spice profile. 2 Small Hand Foods. Liber & Co is a bit more intense but this is really, really close 3 BG Reynolds. Decent but IMO not as good as the above 3. The old formulation where it was opaque brown instead of clear was much better IMO.
