Notes

For a richer flavor, use fresh-squeezed citrus juices.
Orgeat syrup is key for authentic flavor. If unavailable, try almond extract diluted with simple syrup.
Pineapple juice adds a tropical flair but can be optional.
You can batch this drink for parties—just multiply the ingredients and stir in a large pitcher.
Always serve chilled for best taste and presentation.
