The Kamikaze Martini is a popular cocktail, not a food dish, known for its strong, clean, and slightly tart flavor. It is a variation of the classic Kamikaze shot, typically made with equal parts vodka, triple sec (orange liqueur), and fresh lime juice, served in a chilled martini glass. It's a staple of modern bar culture, originating in the United States.
As a spirit-based cocktail, it is high in alcohol and provides empty calories with minimal nutrients. A standard serving contains roughly 180-220 calories, almost entirely from alcohol and a small amount of sugar from the liqueur, with negligible protein, fat, or fiber.
