I got most of the ingredients for a mai tai but I cannot find orgeat syrup in my area.....

In an emergency such as the one you describe.... Amaretto mostly works. I don't recommend it as a regular substitute, but sometimes you just gotta have a Mai-Tai!

If you have a World Market, Cost-Plus, Trader Joes, or a relatively large Starbucks nearby you should be able to find an Orgeat, or possibly Torani Almond.
