Ingredients
This twist on the classic Kamikaze cocktail combines vodka, lime juice, and Blue Curacao for a sweet and tangy mix that's sure to please any palate.
Vodka: Provides a smooth, light base for the cocktail. Its subtle flavor lets the other ingredients shine.
Lime juice: Brings a tart kick that helps to round out the drink. It also adds an acidic element which helps to give the drink balance and complexity. We used sweetened lime juice to add a touch of sweetness to balance out the lime. But it's up to you which one you'd like to use.
Blue Curacao: An orange liqueur with a distinct blue hue. It gives the drink its signature color as well as a sweet citrus flavor that complements both vodka and lime juice perfectly.
How to Make a Blue Kamikaze Shot
To get started on your blue kamikaze recipe, pour all ingredients into a shaker and give it a gentle shake—you'll wanna add some extra ice if they're not pre-chilled.
Once everything is mixed and cocktail-ready, pour it into shot glasses and get creative with garnishes.
A lime wedge or slice is always recommended for the perfect presentation!
Now that you've made something beautiful, it's time to enjoy! Cheers!
Garnish Ideas
Take your Blue Kamikaze shot to the next level with these neat and unique garnishes. Here are a few ideas for you to try.
Lime Wedges: The easiest and most classic of garnish ideas, is the lime wedge. And it pairs perfectly with the lime juice in these shots.
Lime Wheels: A classic look and taste that pairs perfectly with the drink's Tangy-Sweet flavor. Plus, it looks super pretty in those shot glasses!
Mini Umbrellas: Who doesn't love an umbrella in their drink? It's sure to add some fun and color to any toast!
Dehydrated Oranges: Add a bit of sophistication and visual appeal with this tasteful garnish. Not only will it make your drinks look fancy, but also comes with a delightful hint of orange citrus as well!
Top Tips
Just the Right Amount of Lime Juice: Half an ounce of sweetened lime juice gives a perfectly tangy-sweet flavor to your Blue Kamikaze shots. But if it's too much or too little for your tastes, give it a try and adjust until you find the perfect amount of tartness.
Put On A Show: Rim your shot glasses with extra lime juice and dip them into some sugar, pop rocks, etc for added sweetness and visual appeal—guests will be impressed!
Keep It Cool: To avoid gaining weird bubbles when serving drinks, forego ice in the shaker and instead keep all ingredients chilled before mixing. Alternatively, you can use regular or freshly squeezed lime juice instead of sweetened if you prefer something less sweet.
Extra Strong? Double the vodka and reduce blue curacao by the same amount—voilà! Now get ready to party hard with these amazing Blue Kamikaze shots!
