• This is a quick & easy recipe to make for a large group of people.
• This shot recipe can easily be served as a cocktail instead of party shots.

Ingredients & Substitutions

• Blue Curaçao: Use whatever brand of blue curaçao you have on hand. Blue curaçao gives this shot its blue color. Use triple sec with a few drops of blue food coloring as a substitute.

Instructions

Step 1: Run a wedge of lime around the edge of the shot glass. Optionally, dip the rim in a small amount of granulated sugar.

Expert Tips

• Save time when serving a large group. If you are serving a large group, line the shot glasses with sugar in advance. Store the prepared shot glasses in the fridge until you are ready to serve them. For the best taste, make the blue kamikaze shot at the time you are ready to serve your guests.
• Turn this shot into a cocktail. To turn this drink into a cocktail, double or triple the recipe quantity and serve it in a cocktail glass filled with ice.
• Make the shot sweeter. This shot tastes fairly strong. If you want it to be sweeter, add in ½ to 1 tablespoon of simple syrup.
• Experiment with different garnishes. Try using a mini lime slice, an orange peel, or a maraschino cherry.
