Every sip of the Kamikaze drink packs a punch of sweet and tart with its delightful combination of lime juice, triple sec, and vodka. No shortness of flavor or fun here!
Kamikaze is a Japanese word meaning “divine wind.” Essentially a vodka margarita, the Kamikaze drink can make a typical evening at home feel like a vacation!
Kamikaze Recipe
The Kamikaze recipe includes three simple ingredients:
- 1 oz vodka
- 1 oz triple sec
- 1 oz lime juice
A lime wedge for garnish is optional but I recommend it!
How to Make A Kamikaze Cocktail
To make a Kamikaze Cocktail, fill a shaker with ice. Pour 1 oz vodka, 1 oz triple sec, and 1 oz lime juice into the shaker. Shake, strain into a glass, garnish, and enjoy!
How to Serve
The Kamikaze drink is commonly served straight up or without ice in a martini glass. By cutting the amount of each ingredient in half, it can also be enjoyed in the form of a Kamikaze Shot (LINK??).

So I doubled this because it was easier to measure 2 ounces each in my measuring cup. I used Cointreau, fresh lime, and Ketel One and it was pretty balanced. I maybe would add a little simple syrup next time but overall it was pretty balanced and very refreshing (and boozy). I love the simplicity.
