✨ RECIPE NOTES ✨
- Sweetness: Adjust the sugar to taste, depending on the tartness of the kumquats and your personal preference.
- Mocktail: For a non-alcoholic mocktail version, simply omit the white rum and add extra club soda.
- Supersize it: To make a pitcher, multiply the recipe by the number of servings you want, and combine the ingredients in a large jug or pitcher. These go great with outdoor summer BBQs!
