Kamikaze

This vodka, orange liqueur and lime combination is presented as a small sipping cocktail. The compact formula emphasizes vodka, with the two smaller measures supplying citrus flavor and sweetness rather than a large juice component.

Pale, lightly cloudy Kamikaze in a small coupe without ice or garnish.
