Using my bar selection as example, I looked at the Grogalizer Special Search and there were 14 recipes with orgeat. A few. I would guess that it was a mixer picked up via the Carribean along with Sazerac and rum. It made its way to the US in the hands of Trader Vic or Don Beach and they started using it. It became a standard ingredient.
