I will invite you to put your nose to a good bottle of Orgeat. The almond flavor compliments both the lime and the orange flavors and the nutty aroma brings a wonderful little bit of exotic to the nose. And, if you are still not sure, try a Mai-Tai without it.... I think you will find it a bit flat overall without it.
