†Kamikaze recipe at International Bartenders Association }} |
The Kamikaze is made of equal parts Vodka, Triple Sec, and Lime/Lemon juice. It can be served strained into a highball glass, on the rocks in a lowball glass or as a shooter. Garnish is typically a wedge of lime or lemon, chosen to match the type of juice in the cocktail.
One popular variation on this drink is the Southern Comfort Kamikaze or "SoCo" Kamikaze, which is made using Southern Comfort liqueur in place of vodka.
