My Mai Tai recipe without needing orgeat syrup (God forbid!!!)
From CocktailWonk.com:
"During the golden era, “Martinique rum” was not rhum agricole, i.e., cane juice rum. Instead, the Martinique rum available to bartenders was molasses-based and described by Trader Vic as close to Jamaican rum in flavor. Thus, rhum agricole isn’t among the Basics styles below. When an old recipe calls for a Martinique rum, you can reasonably substitute a moderately-aged Jamaican rum."
The rums aside, if you aren't in the mood for orgeat, you could substitute amaretto. It brings the almond flavor without the flower waters which I'm personally not always in the mood for.
@SlandT - Yeah, kinda torn myself between Orgeat using both Rose and Orange Blossom water. I think I'm going just Orange Blossom. The Rose is just too much perfumy-ness I'm finding. I do prefer making my own, but it's nice to keep a decent quality pre-made for when I'm feeling lazy and not wanting to make new stuff. I hear you on that note!
@PaulB - Sounds good. I'll have to try that recipe out. Got ED8 and S&C. I don't have any, but my local TWM does have the Shrubb. I do have Clement VSOP and Rhum J.M Terroir Volcanique. My try the TV?
I like Liber and Co. They only use Orange Blossom water, not rose, but to me it's still perfumey. I haven't tried BG Reynolds. Although they're most popular, they don't use anything but almonds and almond flavoring, sugar, water and some chemicals. I have no idea how it tastes though.
If you're looking to avoid the almond altogether, you could go with orange bitters(?)
Never a fan here of either the rose or orange blossom water. But for my taste buds, the almond is essential in a mai tai. I leave both out when making my orgeat and have never enjoyed the drink more.
