KUMQUAT MARTINI

You are going to think I'm crazy but bought Kumquats for the first time in my life and didn't even know how to eat them so I went to Twitter to ask.

The best answer came from @stevewitsen who said "@Ines I've also muddled them up with a bit of sugar then added some vodka and ice. Everything is better with vodka."

That answer certainly sparked some interest - so I decided to make a red concoction of sorts and let the pretty kumquats float for contrast.

The disappointing part is that I didn't measure the ingredients and honestly, called it a Kumquat Martini because it was the only right thing to do.

Ingredients:

• Creme de Cassis
• Absolut Kurant
• Cranberry Juice

I did the old cocktail shaker thing with ice to cool it - added the pretty floating kumquats - and MMM MMM MMM

If you find out the right proportions, please come back and let me know (or I'll just have to make another one and not be as spontaneous).

CHEERS!
