Method
Cocktail
Make sweet & sour (if not using pre-mixed)
Combine fresh lime juice and simple syrup. Shake or stir briefly to combine. This yields the sweet & sour component of the Kamikaze.
Build and shake
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add 2 fl oz vodka, 1 fl oz triple sec, and 1 fl oz of the prepared sweet & sour (lime juice + simple syrup).
Shake
Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for about 10–15 seconds, until the outside of the shaker is frosty and well-chilled.
Strain
Strain the cocktail through a fine strainer or the shaker strainer into a chilled coupe or a rocks glass with fresh ice, depending on preference.
Garnish and serve
Garnish with a lime wedge or wheel on the rim. Serve immediately.
