How to Make Kumquat Mojito
- Reserve 4 kumquat slices for garnish.
- Thinly slice the remaining kumquats (about 8-10 kumquats, depending on size).
- Gently muddle 4 mint leaves and the kumquat slices in a shaker with 1 ounce of sugar and 1 ounce of lime juice. Avoid over-muddling to prevent bitterness.
- Add 2 ounces of white rum to the shaker.
- Fill the shaker with ice.
- Close the shaker tightly and shake vigorously until well-chilled (about 15-20 seconds).
- Fill two tall glasses with crushed ice.
- Strain the mojito mixture into the prepared glasses.
- Top each glass with 3-4 ounces of club soda.
- Gently stir.
- Garnish each glass with the reserved kumquat slices, remaining mint leaves, and a sprinkle of sugar or a small piece of sugar cane (optional).
