Blue Kamikaze
The Kamikaze with blue curacao replacing triple sec — same orange flavor from Curaçao's bitter laraha citrus, dramatically different blue-green visual presentation.
Share this page
The Blue Kamikaze is a colorful variation of the classic Kamikaze — equal parts vodka, triple sec, and lime juice — that substitutes blue curacao for standard triple sec. Blue curacao is an orange-flavored liqueur colored with food dye to achieve its vivid blue, originally referencing the bitter laraha citrus grown on the Dutch island of Curacao in the southern Caribbean. The orange flavor of the liqueur is identical to standard triple sec, making the Blue Kamikaze taste essentially the same as the original while producing a dramatically different visual presentation. The striking blue-green color that results from the lime juice mixing with the blue curacao made it a popular choice for themed parties and bars seeking visual impact throughout the 1990s and 2000s, when brightly colored cocktails were a commercial draw.
