Kumquat-Ginger Whisky Sour

When we made a big batch of kumquat-ginger syrup, we decided to find cocktails that would make the best use of it. This is one of our favorites: Kumquat Whisky Sours.
Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Servings 1 Cocktail

Ingredients

  • 1 - 1 1/2 oz Kumquat-Ginger syrup add more for a sweeter drink, less for a more tart one
  • 1 1/2 oz bourbon like Bulleit or Maker’s Mark
  • 1/2 oz lemon juice 1/4 lemon approx
  • 1/2 oz lime juice 1/2 lime approx

Instructions

  • Place the syrup (including a few slices of candied kumquats), lemon and lime juice into a cocktail shaker and muddle a few times to extract all the flavor out of the kumquats. Fill shaker with ice and add bourbon. Shake well and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon peel twist.
