Yum Alert: Kumquat Ginger Mimosas

Written by Olga

Kumquat Ginger Mimosa because, well … why not?

This is probably one of the most interesting mimosas I’ve ever encountered. I may actually have to break my “no ginger” rule to try this baby out.

Ingredients

Ginger Syrup

1/4 pound ginger, sliced

1 cup pure cane (or granulated) sugar

1 cup water

Directions

Using a food processor, pulverize the sliced ginger into bits. In a small heavy saucepan, over medium-lowheat, bring ginger, sugar, and water to a simmer. Stir until sugar has dissolved, then gently simmer, uncovered, 30 minutes. Strain through a sieve and let cool to room temperature.

Kumquat Ginger Mimosa

For one mimosa:

4 ounces of Cava (Prosecco or Champagne)

4 teaspoon ginger syrup

1/2 teaspoon kumquat juice (from 20 kumquats using a juicer)

Sliced kumquats for garnish (optional)

Directions

Add all three ingredients to champagne glass and mix slightly.
