You’ll learn how to make a Blue Kamikaze Shot, including the necessary ingredients and step-by-step instructions using common home bar equipment.
Ingredients and Substitutions
To make a Blue Kamikaze Shot, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 oz Vodka: Any good quality vodka works. Flavored vodka like raspberry can add an extra twist.
- 1 oz Blue Curaçao: Provides the striking blue color and a hint of orange flavor.
- 1 oz Lime Juice: Freshly squeezed is best for a balanced citrusy kick.
- Optional Simple Syrup: If you prefer a sweeter drink, add 1/2 oz.
You can garnish with a cherry or an orange slice. If you don’t have blue curaçao on hand, you might try triple sec and food coloring, but the flavor might not match perfectly.
Instructions and Equipment
Start by filling a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Pour in the vodka, blue curaçao, and lime juice. If using, add the simple syrup. Shake well for about 15 seconds to properly chill the mix.
Strain the mixture into a chilled shot glass. Aim for a 3 oz yield which fills a standard shot glass perfectly. Use a small strainer if you prefer no ice shards in your shot.
