The Kamikaze is made of equal parts Vodka, Triple Sec and Lime/Lemon juice. It can be served strained into a highball glass or on the rocks in a lowball glass. Garnish is typically a wedge of lime or lemon, chosen to match the type of juice in the cocktail. The drink's name is definitely Japanese in origin, spelt カミカゼ. One popular variation on this drink is the Southern Comfort Kamikaze or "SoCo" Kamikaze, which is made using Southern Comfort liqueur in place of vodka.
