Detailed description
Kamikaze is a citrus shots built around vodka. This clean three-part classic hits with the kind of precision a record attempt would respect.
The build centers on 1/2 oz vodka, 1/2 oz triple sec, and 1/2 oz fresh lime juice. In the glass, this one snaps with tart lime and orange-peel sharpness, finishing crisp and dry with a straight-ahead vodka backbone.
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.
