Most good bartenders can see the similarities. orange curacao, triple sec, cointreau, are not that vastly different enough that it matters. The same for orgeat syrup and falernum syrup (yes, yes, I know all about the ginger and lime peel undertones)..

Huhh? I'm under the impression you've never tasted orgeat or falernum. Orgeat is basically an almond syrup and falernum tastes predominately of cloves. They are worlds apart.
