The Naked and Famous cocktail is a modern drink with roots in the contemporary cocktail scene. Created by Joaquín Simó at the New York bar Death & Company in 2011, this drink is a well-balanced combination of smoky mezcal, bitter Aperol, herbal Yellow Chartreuse, and fresh lime juice. It’s a perfect example of a cocktail that is both complex yet easy to make at home, offering a beautiful blend of flavors with a stunning orange hue.
