Have you heard of a Kamikaze before? I can honestly say I hadn’t, not until I purchased a cocktail book
I’ve been on a cocktail kick lately! I’ve been practicing learning how to make some classic cocktails through a few cocktail books that I’ve recently acquired, and I’m learning a lot! One cocktail that’s name intrigued me was a kamikaze. I hadn’t ever heard of it before. Many of the kamikaze recipes are just vodka, triple sec, and lime juice. This version however, calls for a splash of dry wine, which adds a bit of unique flavor to it.Â
Generally you’d serve this cocktail in a cocktail glass
How to Make the Perfect Kamikaze
Ingredients
- 1oz vodka
- 1oz triple sec
- 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
- 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
- white wine (recipe calls for dry; I used a dry Riesling and it turned out good too)
- Ice
Instructions
Shake first four ingredients well in shaker with ice. Strain into a chilled glass, then top it off with wine.
Have you ever made one of these drinks before? Do you have any different flavor combinations I should try? Comment below and let me know!

mmmm, those are so tasty! But my advice is don't drink to many of them at one sitting. It's the voice of experience.

This looks like summer! Now if it would just get here. 🙂
This looks so yummy! I always wondered what a Kamikaze was made out of, for our senior sorority bar crawl we had shirts with the poem from cocktail (tom cruise movie) on it (it mentions Kamikaze) and we kept asking the bartenders to make drinks listed in the poem, this was one of the drinks none of them knew 🙂
Thank you for linking up at the Pinterest Power Party this week!

Good Morning Melissa, I love cocktails, but I have never heard of a Kamikaze….what have I been missing. I love the fact that it contains German Riesling as although this seems to be out of favour at the moment, I love it …. it harks back to the days when I lived in Germany.
I have enjoyed reading your blog and have become a new follower. I am now going to make a cup of coffee and catch up with your other posts.
If you have the time, I would like to invite you to visit me at Ivy, Phyllis and Me! you will be most welcome.
