Naked & Famous

The Naked & Famous cocktail was created in 2011 by bartender Joaquín Simó at Death & Co in New York. The name of the cocktail is derived from a song of the same name, and Simó describes it as being 'as irresistible as a last cigarette.' As an equal parts cocktail, it showcases the smoky characteristics of Mexican mezcal, achieving a remarkable balance with yellow Chartreuse, Aperol, and fresh lime juice. In just a few years, it has gained recognition in the global bartending community and is considered a representative innovative cocktail of the early 21st century.
