Along the same vein as KuKuAhu's general feeling, I have to wonder how much difference this will make in a Mai Tai. I'll have to make 3 some night: one with Fee's, with with The Gnomon's Emergency Orgeat, and one with the full-up ground almond process. My feeling is that there will be a very slight difference. But, there are 6 ingredients in a Mai Tai. If one chose 6 ingredients, each slightly better than an alternative, one would have a Mai Tai with a significant difference.
