Naked and Famous

A citrusy and bitter sour built around tequila & mezcal, with the classic proportions and service that make the Naked and Famous endure.

“The Naked and Famous arrives composed, luminous, and fully aware it has everyone's attention.”

WHY THIS DRINK WORKS

The Naked and Famous works because mezcal, Aperol, yellow Chartreuse meet in deliberate proportion. Keep the method shaken, use fresh ice, and give the final garnish enough attention to finish the aroma without distracting from the drink.
