Prep

Ready In
- Combine kumquats and water in a blender and puree until mostly smooth. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium saucepan, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Add sugar and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until thick and syrupy, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes, then refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour.
- Mix tequila, lime juice and Grand Marnier with ⅓ cup of the kumquat reduction. Serve over ice in salt-rimmed glasses, if desired.
- To make ahead: Refrigerate kumquat reduction (Step 1) for up to 3 days.

Delicious. The only thing I might do next time is crush some jalapeno up for a little kick. But very fresh tasting. Will make again to liven up a winter/sping party.
