Almond

Nutty
Year-RoundUsed in ~83 drinks

A rich, marzipan-sweet nuttiness that is one of the cocktail world's most versatile flavor bridges — almond connects citrus to spirit, bitter to sweet, tropical to temperate. Orgeat syrup is its purest cocktail expression, delivering a creamy, fragrant sweetness that underpins the Mai Tai, Japanese Cocktail, and dozens of tiki classics. Almond notes also emerge from amaretto, falernum, and certain barrel-aged spirits.

Aroma

The nose is warm and inviting — toasted nuts, marzipan, a hint of cherry-pit bitterness from benzaldehyde, and a creamy, almost vanilla-like sweetness.
