Kamikaze
A strong, tart, and refreshing vodka-based cocktail, the Kamikaze is a straightforward mix of vodka, triple sec (orange liqueur), and fresh lime juice, often served as a shot or a martini-style drink.
Chill glass
Chill a martini glass (for cocktail style) or a shot glass (for shot style) by placing it in the freezer or filling it with ice water and discarding the water before use.
💡 Tips:
- •A well-chilled glass is essential for this cold, crisp drink.
Combine ingredients in shaker
In a cocktail shaker, combine 1.5 ounces (45 ml) vodka, 0.75 ounce (22.5 ml) triple sec, and 0.75 ounce (22.5 ml) fresh lime juice. Add 1 serving of ice.
💡 Tips:
- •Using fresh lime juice makes a significant difference in taste compared to bottled lime juice.
Shake well
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until the mixture is thoroughly chilled.
💡 Tips:
- •Shake until the outside of the shaker feels frosty.
Strain and garnish
Strain the chilled cocktail into your prepared glass. Garnish with 1 lime wedge or wheel.
💡 Tips:
- •For a cleaner presentation, double strain to remove any ice shards or pulp.
- 💡Adjust the lime juice or triple sec to your preference for a sweeter or tarter taste.
- 💡Use a good quality vodka since it's the base spirit.
- 💡For a slightly different flavor, try substituting Cointreau for triple sec.
- 💡Can be served as a shot for quick consumption or as a larger cocktail for sipping.
