How is a Kamikaze typically served?

A Kamikaze is traditionally served in a shot glass. This drink is a combination of vodka, triple sec, and lime juice, shaken with ice and strained into the shot glass. Serving it in a shot glass is also aligned with the social context in which it is typically consumed, allowing for a quick shot during celebrations or when toasting among friends.

Using a shot glass emphasizes the drink's strong flavors and encourages the kind of hurried consumption that the Kamikaze is known for, usually in a party or energetic atmosphere. The other glass types mentioned are not commonly associated with this specific cocktail. A cocktail glass is usually reserved for mixed drinks that are sipped rather than taken as shots. Similarly, a nervous glass is not a recognized term within bartending, and a lowball glass typically holds drinks on the rocks or cocktails that are sipped slowly, rather than consumed in one quick gulp like a Kamikaze.
