The only one I've never had was the second one, (Keep Your Dreams...) and I can say I've definitely enjoyed the other two. I think it's cool you didn't go the easy route and make a bunch of tiki drinks. Orgeat works well in traditional cocktails too.
Yea I specifically didn’t wanna just do a bunch of mai tai riffs or other tiki drinks! The Keep your dream a burning is really good! Needs a few tweaks but I just love those old school lavish drinks!
Awesome, I love that Keep your Dreams cocktail mostly for it's crazy presentation, I always like seeing that cobbler-style drink. super fun. My personal favorites are probably "Across the Pacific", and "Fort York" cocktail, both excellent orgeat cocktails! Cheers, Rob!
I haven’t tried either of those! I’ll have to check them out! I’m totally a sucker for cocktails with lavish presentation! Which is why tiki appeals so much! Haha
As much as I am NOT a tequila fan, I really liked the Infante. 2oz Blanco Tequila, 1oz Lime Juice, 0.75oz Orgeat, and 4 drops of Orange Blossom Water. Wet shake and strain into a rocks glass over a large block of ice and garnish with a dusting of Nutmeg.
Nice! I do a cocktail that I didn't realize until just now is a riff on the Japanese Cocktail. I was calling it a "Dirty Blonde" though that is apparently also already a thing. (Nothing new under the sun, I guess.) I use Pistachio Orgeat (I add a few pinches of salt when I make it) with bourbon, ango & a lemon peel. Very nice with a spray of absinth in the glass, too.
Pistachio orgeat sounds awesome! I have pecan orgeat but haven’t used it much. I’m not fan of absinthe but a small spray does do wonders for cocktails! Cheers!
Yes!!! I would have all of these delicious cocktails esp the first one!! Agreed - tone the Orgeat back slightly - like you I like less sweetness - but this beauty looks amazing! I'd love to have all of them!! You rock Rob!! Cheers!! 🙂
I love orgeat since I was a kid. In France it's a kid's drink, mixed with water or sprite or a mixer for pastis, a working class anis liquor. It's funny to me that it's so fancy in America.
@@RobsHomeBar in France it's the mauresque and the diabolo d'orgeat. You can substitute the orgeat for grenadine and you have a tomate or a diabolo grenadine. The most affordable drinks in a bistrot.
I don't have a name for it, but I like subbing the coconut cream/syrup with orgeat in a pina-colada-esque drink...Or sometimes adding a bit of orgeat to regular pina colada...Note that make shaken pina coladas, not blended...
There’s actually a drink I made a while ago called Coco No Coco and it was invented by a bartender who wanted a pina colada substitute because their cream of coconut would go bad so quickly.. it uses orgeat and heavy cream to sub.. and it works quite well!

Always good to have ideas for using orgeat
I mean, we can’t ALWAYS be drinking Mai Tais right?

I don’t think I’ve tried that one! Gonna have to do it
I'm writing that one down ! Thanks.
Just made it, it may become a new go to!

Hello Rob. My favorite cocktail that contains orgeat is the Saturn. Cheers🍹
Saturn is a great cocktail! I don’t make it often enough!
great choices!
Yes they were all quite enjoyable

The sherry one was really good! Just needed a touch of lemon! Cheers!!
@@RobsHomeBar Yummm!! Exciting!! Cheers Rob!
That “hmmm…” face you made for the Cameron’s Kick is exactly how I feel about the cocktail. It never really made sense to me
Yea.. it’s just a plain sour.. the orgeat isn’t adding much, and the scotch overpowers the Irish whiskey completely
This wasa good one and a great idea!! Always looking for ways to use up the Orgeat!
It’s definitely nice to have other options.. my orgeat uses are 95% mai tais! Haha

That’s interesting! It’s definitely the Mai Tai that made it so popular and fancy in America

The humuhumunukunukuapua'a. Best orgeat cocktail for me 🍹
I’ve only made it once! I should revisit! Cheers! 🥂

@@RobsHomeBar Not a big fan of creams in my drinks, usually, but I may give that a try!
Nutastic Rob 🌰 🌰 🌰
Haha Cheers! 🌰
Ooo! And guess what I just made a batch of! Orgeat!
Sweet! Hope you give some of these a try! Cheers!
@@RobsHomeBar I'll try the Japanese for sure!
New sub
Cheers!!
