We might be able to give more specific advice if you let us know exactly where you live. Aside from being used in alcoholic beverages, orgeat is also commonly used as a flavored syrup for coffee, so if you can think of a high-end grocery store near you that has a decent coffee section, you might try there. Without knowing what state you live in, I don't know what the local liquor sales situation is, but generally a knowledgeable liquor sales person (a wine steward, for instance) might at least be able to point you in the right direction. Failing that, if you're friendly enough with a local Starbucks-style coffee shop, try bribing a barista out of a half-bottle of their orgeat.
