What does ORGEAT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A sweet syrup traditionally made from almonds and orange flower water, used to flavor drinks and cocktails.
Bartenders add a splash of orgeat to cocktails such as the mai tai to give a smooth, faintly nutty sweetness alongside the aroma of orange flowers. The drink began in France, where an early version was brewed from barley before almonds became the standard base, and the French word for barley, orge, still echoes in its name. Because true orgeat depends on almond milk rather than almond extract, it has a softer, less bitter flavor than many artificial substitutes sold under the same name. Home bartenders sometimes make their own orgeat rather than rely on bottled versions, which vary widely in quality.
