About the Naked and Famous
Created by bartender Joaquín Simó in New York around 2011, deliberately modeled on the Last Word's equal-parts structure — a well-documented modern lineage.
Ingredients
- Mezcal¾ oz
- Aperol¾ oz
- Yellow Chartreuse¾ oz
- Fresh lime juice¾ oz
Method
- Measure and pour the mezcal, Aperol, Yellow Chartreuse and fresh lime juice into the shaker.
- Add a scoop of ice to the shaker.
- Shake for 15 seconds.
- Double-strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe. No garnish.
Glass & Garnish
Coupe glass, chilled. Garnish with a dehydrated lime wheel or lime wedge on the rim.
Notes
Equal parts, easy to scale. No good substitute for yellow Chartreuse — worth seeking out. Pairs well with light savoury bites.
