The Kamikaze is a classic, crisp, and tart cocktail made from equal parts (or a balanced ratio) of vodka, triple sec, and fresh lime juice. It is essentially a vodka-based riff on the Margarita and is commonly served either as a chilled sipped cocktail or as a party shot.

- 1 ounce vodka
- 1 ounce triple sec
- 1 ounce lime juice

- Shake: Cover and shake vigorously for 10 to 15 seconds until well-chilled.
