Frosty Kumquat Martini (One of the Best Ways to Use Kumquats!)
A boozy way to use kumquats!
Equipment
- 1 blender or Vitamix
Ingredients
- 12 kumquats
- 1 ½ cups ice cubes
- 1 oz Grand Marnier
- 2 oz Ketel One Citroen vodka or substitute plain vodka if you like
- 3 tsp caster sugar plus extra sugar for rimming the glasses
Instructions
- Prepare the glasses by rubbing half a kumquat around the rim and dipping in sugar.
- Cut the kumquats in half and remove all the pits. Keep two or three thin slices aside to garnish the glass.
- Put the ice, kumquats, Grand Marnier, vodka and sugar in the blender jar.
- Blend until smooth and pour into martini glasses.
Notes
- Adjust the sugar and alcohol to your desired taste/strength.
- Great tip from reader Jacqueline Lawless "I dehydrate my kumquats and use them in my homemade granola and as a garnish in cocktails. I also put a few dried kumquats into a spice blender, blitz them into a powder and rim my cocktail glasses with the powder for an extra zing."
