I was thinking of placing an order for a couple syrups, just wondering how the orgeat is from here.
I have a hard time finding syrups here on the island...

Jim Romdall of Vessel in Seattle says the Orgeat is "Amazing"
But you don't have to take his word for it... you can take mine!
If you have any questions, please ask. Of course I think it's pretty darn good stuff though, I make it here in Portland, OR and use it in drinks for special Tiki Nights at local bars and for specials at Thatch Tiki Bar where I work.

I'd like to commend you for making these and putting them out there for purchase. Anything that raises the quality level of home mixologist's efforts is a good thing. One question though... have you added a preservative, natural or otherwise? And since I'm sure your Don's Mix does not contain fresh grapefruit juice, what do you use for the grapefruit flavor? Okay, that's two questions.

I have a bottle of Don's Mix, and grapefruit juice is the first ingredient listed (so it was fresh at some point). And it's mighty good stuff, too.
Of course, I can make my own Don's Mix, but A) I'm lazy and B) Blair's a friend and an all-around good guy, and I like to support friends whenever I can!

Thanks for the questions.
GatorRob, The syrups (even the Don's Mix) are preservative free. Shelf life unopened at room temp is around 6 months. The Don's Mix does contain real grapefruit juice. No artificial ingredients or flavors.
Kon-Hemsby, that can be arranged, but is quite expensive. Just e-mail sales@tradertiki.com for pricing.
