If you are up for a litte experimentation, here are some suggestions:

There is a drink called a Saturn that is made with gin, lemon juice, orgeat and passion fruit syrup. You have everything except the passion fruit. I am not sure what you have on your list that would sub for the passion fruit, but the first thing I would try would probably be the ginger ale.

For a variation on a manhattan/rob roy, you could use the johnny waker or the seagrams. I don't know if the JD would work, but orgeat does mix well with bourbon. Add a squeeze of lemon juice, dry vermouth and a little orgeat.

For something that could also be made virgin, you could make a somewhat pedestrian version of a tiki grog. Use the bacardi rum, lime juice, orange juice, triple sec and orgeat. The virgin version would leave out the rum and triple sec.
