KumquatCello: Is it a bitter or a liqueur? Making a delicious alcoholic beverage from kumquats. HD

Fall is kumquat time in north Florida, and time to make a delicious kumquat liqueur or bitter. While many people have trees full of fruit, the question is always "what to do with it?" In this video Dave explains how to make a delicious alcoholic bitter or liqueur from the tasty little citrus gems. This is part one of a two part series.

I stired and tasted today. It has a little more kumquat taste but still has awhile to go.
