The story behind Kamikaze
Kamikaze blev skabt i slutningen af 1940’erne og er en af de mange cocktails, der opstod i kølvandet på Anden Verdenskrig. Navnet „Kamikaze‟, der betyder „guddommelig vind‟ på japansk, refererer til de selvmordsmissioner, som japanske piloter udførte under krigen. Men i cocktailens kontekst, kan navnet også ses som en reference til den kraftfulde og direkte smagsoplevelse, som drinken tilbyder. Kamikaze blev særligt populær i USA i 1970’erne og 1980’erne og har sidenhen fastholdt sin plads som en favorit på mange barer rundt om i verden.
