Sips & Tips
Technique
Equal parts makes this dead simple to remember. Shake hard — the lime juice needs proper dilution to avoid being too tart. Fresh lime only; bottled juice makes this taste cheap.
Balance
This is essentially a vodka Margarita. Use Cointreau over generic triple sec for a cleaner orange note. The drink should be tart and crisp, not sweet.

Variations
Blue Kamikaze
Replace triple sec with blue curaçao for a vivid blue color with the same citrus flavor profile.
