Kumquat Mojitos

  • ACTIVE: 10 MIN
  • TOTAL TIME:
  • SERVINGS: 10

Classic mojitos are made with rum, muddled mint and limes; Jean-Georges Vongerichten keeps things interesting by swapping the limes for tart kumquats and kalamansi concentrate, the frozen juice of the sour Asian citrus fruit. If kalamansi isn't available, regular orange juice concentrate tastes just as good.

Recipe: Kumquat Mojitos

  1. 20 kumquats (1/2 pound), halved lengthwise
  2. 1 cup mint leaves
  3. One 10-ounce can frozen kalamansi or orange juice concentrate, thawed
