I made a batch of "Ahu Orgeat #1" using Almond Breeze. I have found that you can use a double measure of the Ahu #1 Orgeat and skip the simple syrup entirely and still get a really good Mai-Tai. And, I tried making the orgeat with fake sugar and it worked OK..... I don't recommend it as a general practice, but in the case of the diabetic girlfriend it is worth trying. Fair warning, the final product is a bit thin tasting so you might have to adjust your recipe a bit to get it just right.
