Emergency Orgeat Syrup is a good substitute for real orgeat as long as you can get decent almond milk that doesn't clump. Unfortunately, Pacific (the brand featured in this link) has recently ruined their almond milk where orgeat is concerned by improving it. The "improved taste" product clumps.

The most tedious part of making orgeat is making the almond milk, or more specifically, filtering the fine almond particles out of the milk. If you follow the Home brew orgeat topic, you'll find enough tips on how to make the real thing. Scottes and I are working on putting together methodologies for making the homemade orgeat process quicker and easier. My real orgeat is incredible, but the emergency orgeat still tastes better than most store-bought varieties.
