In a cocktail shaker, muddle a couple of kumquat slices to release their juice and essential oils. 2. Add the Pisco, fresh orange juice, pineapple juice, and lotus seed syrup to the shaker. 3. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously until well chilled. 4. Strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with ice, creating a base layer. 5.
