Does anyone know what the shelf life is for Trader Vic's Orgeat Syrup? The only thing the bottle says is to shake well and store in a cool place. Their webpage does not even mention storage instructions or anything about an expiration time period. You should be able to use it until it tastes bad or grows mold. When this happens will vary depending on the product. If it's mostly artificially flavored like Torani, it may last for many years. On the other hand, I had a bottle of Routin 1883 Orgeat go bad and it had an obvious odor and taste reminiscent of superglue. Presumably the cyanide compounds found in almonds were somehow involved.
