OUR cocktail of the week comes courtesy of mixologist Liam Savage, manager of Penn Central in Penn Hill.

East Meets West

2 whole kumquats

1 fresh passion fruit

half a lime

1 bar spoon of white sugar

50 ml Grey Goose vodka

Cut the kumquats in half and muddle in the glass.

Half the passion fruit and scoop the pulp into the glass, squeeze in the lime juice and add other ingredients.

Half fill the glass with crushed ice and churn, allowing ingredients to marry.

Then fill the glass with crushed ice and gently churn once more. Garnish with caramelized kumquat (ed's note: assuming you have any...)
