The reason was that I used Trader Vic's newer Orgeat in a presntation I did, and what a surprise (not), it's bad. Not nearly as thick as the old one, and the taste was very weak in the drink. I have some Monin, and that is what I originaly used for my drinks, but I resent them for changing their syrup line, and rather find something else. Torani is out of the question, I know what it tastes like, and I'm not going to use it (I did a small batch of 50/50 Monin/Torani for Mai Tais a couple of years ago, but I'll never use it by itself). What are you all using now? I am not interested in homemade syrup as answers to this thread, although I'm sure it's great. Thanks, Ran
