🤷🏻♀️ Frequently Asked Questions
The blue kamikaze shot gets its name from the bright blue color of the ingredients, which is reminiscent of a lightning bolt.
“Kamikaze” is a Japanese word meaning “divine wind,” which is thought to reference the divine intervention that prevented a Mongol invasion of Japan in 1281.
No. The only ingredient that does not contain alcohol is sweetened lime juice.
Yes! Blue Kamikaze shots can easily be made ahead of time. Mix the ingredients together in a pitcher and store it in the fridge until you’re ready to serve. When you’re ready to serve, pour the mixture into shot glasses and garnish with a lime wedge or slice. Just remember that they are meant to be enjoyed as “shots,” meaning that they should only be about 2 ounces – not an entire glass.
Let’s take a look at how to make these shots.
📝 Ingredients
- 4 Ounces Vodka
- 4 Ounces Blue Curacao
- Sweetened Lime Juice, to taste (I use ½ ounce)
👩🏻🍳 Directions
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add vodka, Blue Curacao, and sweetened lime juice to the shaker and shake gently.
- Strain into shot glasses and garnish with a lime wedge or slice, if desired. Enjoy!
📌 Recipe Notes and Tips
- Feel free to add extra sweetened lime juice to the shots to suit your personal preference.
- Dip the rim of each shot glass in some extra sweetened lime juice and dip it in sugar, pop rocks, etc. However, let it be noted that this shot is sweet enough that it truly doesn’t need sugar on the rim.
- If you shake too vigorously, you’ll create bubbles. For best results, start with cold ingredients.
- If you don’t want to use, or don’t have, sweetened lime juice, just use regular or fresh lime juice in its place. It will be tarter, so beware.
- Want an extra song shot? Add 2 ounces of vodka and remove 2 ounces of blue curacao.
