KAMIKAZE 🍋🍸

Bright, crisp, and perfectly balanced, the Kamikaze proves that three simple ingredients are all you need for a great cocktail. The modern version of the recipe leans a little more spirit-forward than the classic equal-parts recipe, giving the vodka a bit more presence while keeping the fresh lime and orange liqueur in harmony.

2 oz (60 ml) Vodka
0.75 oz (22.5 ml) Triple Sec
0.75 oz (22.5 ml) Fresh Lime Juice
Garnish: Lime wheel

Add vodka, triple sec, and fresh lime juice to a shaker filled with ice and shake until well-chilled.

Double strain into a chilled coupe glass

Garnish with a lime wheel, and enjoy!

0.75 oz (22.5 ml) Amaro Nonino
0.75 oz (22.5 ml) Lemon Juice
