I have been down this frustrating little road myself. What the Muggler says is true, the only place, so far on-line is the Trader Vic website. I also checked the Torani website, but they don't sell on-line. Torani is the only brand of Orgeat that I have been able to find retail around here. And they say you can get anything, anytime in New York. Bah I say! Bah! Yeah I can find it here, but the store I go to which is a gourmet coffee place is so far the ONLY place I have been able to find it. I also had a frustrating interlude the other day just trying to find simple Grenadine for cryin out loud! Some grocery stores have it and some don't. The one in my neighborhood doesn't have it (of course). Gotta make a special trip for that too. What do we have to do to make a simple Mai Tai at home I ask? I suggest you hunt around in some of the gourmet coffee places in your area. Call them first, or else you'll have an Orgeat breakdown. And don't try Starbucks...I don't think they're cool enough to carry it. In fact I'm pretty sure they don't have it. cheers! :drink:
