Solid four stars with Spunky Buddy's variation of an old classic from the '70s. I remember this as being a somewhat vicious bar drink served as a shot from many years ago. I substituted Keke Key Lime Liqueur for the bottled lime juice and kept all else the same...except for pouring it into a decidedly classier mini martini glass. The key lime liqueur made it creamier while not compromising the boldness of the fresh lime juice.

This is great! We just made these tonight (in January!) but I think they would be very refreshing in the summer heat!

I tried my first Kamikaze at my reception and it has now replaced the margarita as my favorite drink. This recipe is excellent. It normally takes 3 margaritas to do what one of these does. Thanks so much!

I rimmed a martini glass w/ raw sugar (if you haven't tried it...do so...great flavor & even better visual appeal), poured it in & garnished w/ a slice of lime. It's very good but it REALLY packs a punch.

Mike and Jill did a great job on this one. Pretty close to my version: 2 oz. vodka, 1 oz. Rose's Lime Juice, 1 oz. Cointreau (instead of Triple Sec, more expensive, but much smoother), and the juice from 1/2 a lime. Definitely shaken and strained though. An interesting variant is to replace the Cointreau/Triple Sec with Blue Curacao for an electric blue looking drink that tastes nearly the same. A classic cocktail with a bad reputation (identical recipe to a classic Margarita with vodka instead of tequila). Don't let sour mix get anywhere near this one!
