Kamikaze on the Rocks
Kamikaze on the Rocks is a popular Japanese-inspired cocktail, not a food dish. It is a chilled, shaken mixture of vodka, triple sec (orange liqueur), and fresh lime juice, typically served 'on the rocks' (over ice) in an old-fashioned glass. It is a variation of the classic Kamikaze shot, which is usually served straight up.
