My well-intentioned father-in-law once purchased Almond Roca flavored syrup instead of orgeat (knowing that orgeat was "almond flavored"). While it is not by any stretch a substitute for orgeat (and proper orgeat was promptly purchased thereafter), it makes for an interesting dessert-like flavor for an after-dinner drink if included in a mai tai recipe.
