Naked and Famous

Equal parts mezcal, Aperol, yellow Chartreuse, and lime juice. A perfectly balanced four-ingredient cocktail from Death & Co.

  • 0.75 oz Aperol
  • 0.75 oz yellow Chartreuse
  • 0.75 oz fresh lime juice
  • Ice

Instructions

  1. Shake: Combine all four ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake hard for 15 seconds.

  2. Serve: Double-strain into a chilled coupe glass. No garnish.

Notes

Created by Joaquin Simo at Death & Co in New York, this is an equal-parts riff on the Last Word. The herbal Chartreuse, bitter Aperol, tart lime, and smoky mezcal hit four very different notes that somehow land in balance. Use yellow Chartreuse, not green. The drink does not need a garnish.
