Detailed description

Blue Kamikaze is a citrus shots built around vodka. A neon riff on the classic that looks right at home beside the boldest glasses in the lineup.

The build centers on 1/2 oz vodka, 1/2 oz blue curaçao, and 1/2 oz fresh lime juice. In the glass, electric blue in the glass and razor-bright on the palate, it mixes lime acidity with candied orange notes for a brisk, playful hit.

It comes together in 3 minutes and is served in a chilled shot glass. Serve it ice-cold and pour promptly so the citrus edge stays sharp instead of flattening out.
