How to make the Kumquat Syrup Cocktail
Add the water and sugar to a medium sized saucepan and bring to a low boil. Add the kumquats. Press down using a potato masher to release more flavor from the fruit. Bring back to a low boil and turn the heat off. Allow the mixture to cool and strain it into a clean container. Mix in the vodka to preserve for up to one month.
