Now i know why they call it kamikaze...

Very refreshing

Very good classic for a beginning of a soirée :)

Who named it kamikaze, was somebody an otaku?

It's a common drink for me. I am doing it all the time, 'cos i love lemon :)

Great shot!

First shot I ever had at a bar... don't do too many or you'll figure out why they call it a Kamikaze.

You can slam your vehicle into things on this one. Be responsible!

Best drink

This is my favorite drink of all time and can drink so many of these without getting sick of them! They are the only things I drink now!

My favorite of all time. Also try substituting part of the triple sec with cointreau.

Lovely

Very refreshing and strong... One of my favourite drinks for the summer

Great drink

You can make it more strong or more fruity, either way great and it will tear you up.

For vodka lovers

I only drink vodka, and this little delight was perfect for me. 6 shots later i could still walk a straight line and it doesnt leave you feeling sluggish. Great drink for a partier!

It's a good one

posted by cezar @ 07:07PM, 1/09/07

This is a really good one, best drink out there imo, but careful, its reeealy easy to get caught up in the flavours with this one.

Woooooo hooooooo!

Super smooth buzz, it creeps up on you when you are sitting down but don't stand up to fast!!!

Hand over the keys and enjoy

To make this drink truly a ten, use fresh squeezed limes.

Great drunk night

This makes for a good hard to remember night of fun! My ALL time favorite drink!

Can't even taste the vodka!

This is a beautiful shot. My friends and I had some on my 18th. It's called "Kamikaze" for a good reason... be careful with this one.

Very good shot, love the sour taste, they are the best when you do about 4-5 in a row.

Good, sweet and tart

posted by Drou @ 05:50AM, 4/14/07

But go easy on the lime juice if using Rose's!

Even better if made right!!

posted by Rope Dawg @ 05:28PM, 6/03/07

If you make this drink with equal parts its pretty nasty! Its very sweet and bitter! Its supposed to be 1.5 oz vodka, .5oz lime juice, .5oz triple sec. Its much better...TRY IT!

Kamikaze First timer

I had about 4 or 5 of these along with some other drinks. I ended up so wasted! I Got My ASS kicked by the Kamikazes! Loved them!

Fell over so much in the snow after 9 of these in a row. GOOD stuff.

It buuurns!

posted by Shalissa @ 09:05PM, 6/16/07

Don't do 2/3 vodka and 1/3 lime juice! Don't forget the triple sec! Otherwise....fantastic!!!

My ratio

posted by tikitender @ 12:55PM, 6/20/07

I use a 1-.5-.25 ratio

ends up being about
1 1/4 oz vodka
3/4 oz triple sec
1/4 oz lime

How I make it

posted by Chris @ 02:34PM, 6/22/07

I like to use about 1 1/2 or 2 oz vodka, 1 oz triple sec and 1 oz lime. They're delicious!

Try this

posted by Tiff @ 03:31PM, 12/07/07

It's great with vodka but try it with Patron. It's a great smooth shot. I have also substituted the triple with peach schnapps but only with vodka, its yummy.

large quantities

posted by renn @ 05:09PM, 1/04/08

1/5 of vodka
1/5 of triple sec
1 bottle roses lime
mix in a empty 2-liter and chill.
