Prep Time 5 mins
Servings 1 8 oz cocktail

Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz Kumquat simple syrup
  • ½ tsp Freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tbsp Lime juice ½ lime
  • 2 oz Tequila reposado
  • 1 cup Ice
  • 4 oz Prosecco
  • 2 tbsp Margarita salt
  • 2 Fresh kumquats cut in half garnish
  • 1 Lime slice garnish
  • 1 Lime wedge

Instructions
 

  • I like to present this cocktail in an old fashioned glass, but you can also serve it in a highball or traditional margarita glass. Moisten the rim of the glass of your choice with a lime wedge. Salt the rim.
  • To a shaker add: kumquat simple syrup, freshly grated ginger, lime juice, tequila reposado and ice. In addition to these ingredients, add a spoonful of the indulgent candied kumquats to the shaker. Shake all of the ingredients for 15 seconds. Pour the drink into the salted cocktail glass.
  • Add 4 oz of Prosecco to the cocktail. Gently stir using a cocktail stirrer or small spoon. Garnish the refreshment with a lime slice and kumquat halves. Now you are ready to sip and enjoy this inviting libation. Cheers!
