Naked & Famous
Salmon pink in colour. Mezcal adds earthy smoky complexity to this bittersweet, citrusy fresh, aperitivo Last Word riff. And indeed, getting naked can...

Fantastic cocktail.. Very approachable and a good way to introduce Mezcal.

My favourite cocktail. Was running low on yellow chartreuse so substituted it out for green chartreuse. I can firmly say that this isn't a swap I'll be trying again.

Green chartreuse, Campari and a bold smoky mezcal are awesome though!

Love the idea of an equal parts cocktail, but there was just too much lime for me. Much better balance when I bumped everything else up to 1 oz each.

We liked it but thought it was a little on the sweet side. I upped the mezcal and the lime and love it. Now we call that combo the “More Naked and Less Famous.”

This has become a complete favoutite. I ran out of ice this last timr, so I used frozen berries to cool the drink and the extra juicy tartness really added a nice element.

Surprised as the rest of us how well this works. Made it with El Tesoro Reposado tequila instead of mezcal and it was even more popular!

Definitely going to give this a try

Made this for the first time last night and enjoyed it much more than I thought I would! Probably even better than the Last Word!

While seeking a way to use up my yellow chartreuse I found this little gem. Simple & quick to make and tastes great. Loved it.

Tried with Casamigos Mezcal. A delightfully confusing combination of spirits, resulting in one of my personal favourite cocktails.

I love this cocktail, as it's a balance that doesn't look like it should work when you read it, but it most definitely does in the glass! This cocktail was created as a riff on Sam Ross' modern classic, The Paper Plane (which itself was a riff on the Last Word.) I just wanted to mention that here for the sake of credit being given where due. :)

One of the top concoctions highlighting the pleasures of yellow Chartreuse. Less sweet (surprisingly) than its wonderful green Chartreuse cousin, Last Word.

liked, but a bit sweet. wonder what a bit of bitters would do for it

Just tried this with Peychaud’s Aperitivo in lieu of Aperol, and it still tasted great!

Awful cocktail unless one likes drinking sweet diesel. This combination simply does not work.

One of my favourites. Although I wouldn't use Vida. It deserves better.

Bam! Heavy flavour with relatively low alcohol content. I'd even recommend half an ounce of Mezcal, depending on the brand of course.
