The story behind Kamikaze
Created in the late 1940s, the Kamikaze is one of the many cocktails that emerged in the wake of World War II. The name “Kamikaze”, which means “divine wind” in Japanese, refers to the suicide missions that Japanese pilots carried out during the war. But in the context of the cocktail, the name can also be seen as a reference to the powerful and direct taste experience that the drink offers. Kamikaze became particularly popular in the US in the 1970s and 1980s and has since maintained its place as a favorite in many bars around the world.
