I checked over their inventory. Here's what I would buy:

Barbancourt Rhum 5 Star
Appleton Estate Reserve Rum
Grand Marnier
Torani Orgeat Syrup

If you don't mind spending a little extra, I'd buy Appleton Estate Extra (12 Year) instead of the Reserve.

There's not a great selection of orange liqueurs, so I'd go with Grand Marnier. Grand Marnier is a type of orange curacao, but it's a little sweeter than most, so I'd eliminate the addition of simple syrup to the cocktail.

If they had the Pierre Ferrand Orange Curacao in stock (which they don't currently), I'd probably buy that instead (and probably supplement it with a little simple syrup).

You'll also need some limes to squeeze.

These ingredients will make you a very tasty drink without breaking the bank.
