Orgeat Punch

Oh, the Orgeat Punch. What better way to make use of a thick, viscous, sweetly amazing ingredient. What ever did we do before this lovely syrup? Now I know there are not very many cocktail recipes calling for orgeat out there, which makes this one a duly needed trial. And who doesn't like port, or brandy?

Orgeat Punch
1 1/2 oz. brandy ( i like Hennessy Black)
3/4 oz. orgeat (homemade)
1/4 oz. lemon juice
fill with soda
-float 1/2 oz. port





The drink came out sweet, but not cloying. I did like the transition from port on the initial sip to the brandy-laced orgeat drink lying underneath. This is a great lower alcohol content drink that I would greatly enjoy in the summer. Do try.
