Today`s post has very intresting name - Kamikaze with Balalika…

than Kamikaze, and as balalaika has three strings it has three ingredients - vodka, cointreau, fresh lemon juice. Kamikaze include fresh lime juice instead lemon juice, and I have no idea as Balalaika turn into Kamikaze in this way.
Our goal on today`s frosty evening is a copmarsion of this cocktail.
