The Orgeat Syrup showdown + Hôtel Georgia cocktail
This is the Orgeat Syrup showdown! I'm making all the orgeat syrup recipes I can think of and I'm putting them to test in a delicious gin cocktail, the Hôtel Georgia.
1. Easy Orgeat syrup recipe
- Equal part by weight of warm unsweetened roasted almond milk and sugar
- For every 150 gr of milk, add 2 gr of orange blossom water
- Blend until the sugar is dissolved and bottle up
- Keep in the fridge for up to 3 weeks
2. Blanched almond milk Orgeat syrup
- In a blender, add 50 gr of Blanched almonds and 200 ml of warm water
- Blend at high speed for about one minute
- Strain through a nutmilk bag and press well to extract all the milk (I like to use a potato ricer)
- Weight the milk you extracted and add the same amount by weight of sugar
- For every 150 gr of milk, add 2 gr of orange blossom water
- Blend again until the sugar is dissolved and bottle up
- Keep in the fridge for up to 3 weeks
3. Roasted blanched almond milk Orgeat syrup
- Evenly place your almonds on a parchment paper in a baking sheet
- Place in a pre-heated oven at 325 Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes
- Keep an eye on the almonds to make sure not to over roast them.
- Once you have you roasted almonds, repeat the process of recipe No 2
4. Unblanched almond milk Orgeat syrup
- Soak your unblanched almonds in water with a pinch of salt for 2 hours
- Strain the almonds and repeat the process of recipe No 2

Home Bar Basics: Orgeat
Finally! The Orgeat episode you've all been asking me for. A note on this recipe: this orgeat I did with toasted almonds. Not every orgeat recipe calls for toasted almonds but I really like the added toasted savoriness of this particular recipe. It is by no means the only recipe and I will probably do another orgeat of a different style, but this one is my favorite so I decided to share it first.
This recipe is credited to the hood people at Death & Company in New York
