Naked & Famous Cocktail Recipe

The Naked and Famous is a modern classic cocktail created by bartender Joaquín Simó at Death & Co. in New York City around 2011. This equal parts cocktail showcases the versatility of mezcal as a base spirit, combining it with yellow Chartreuse, Aperol, and fresh lime juice in perfect harmony. The Naked and Famous demonstrates masterful balance with its smoky, herbal, bitter, and sour notes, and has become a staple among mezcal-based cocktails.
