Kamikaze Cocktail Recipe
A classic sour-style cocktail made with vodka, orange liqueur, and fresh lime juice. Invented on an American naval base in Japan after World War II, it gained popularity in the 1970s and 1980s and is essentially a vodka-based Margarita. It is often served as shots but works well as a cocktail.
