Let's familiarize ourselves with the ingredients. Aperol is an Italian aperitif similar to Campari but sweeter. It gives the cocktail a subtle hint of bitterness adding to the complexity of the flavors. On the other hand, Mezcal is a distilled alcoholic beverage made from any type of agave. Its smoky flavor is an excellent companion to the sweetness of Aperol. Yellow Chartreuse is another ingredient derived from the French liqueur made by the Carthusian Monks since 1740. It provides a sweet, spicy, and herbal flavor making the cocktail intriguing. Lastly, fresh lime juice is required to balance the sweetness and adds a tangy touch.
The Naked and Famous cocktail is a modern classic cocktail inspired by The Last Word and the Paper Plane. Its name is as interesting as its combination of flavors. The name supposedly inspired by a quote from the Le Tigre song, 'Deceptacon'.
To make this cocktail, start by taking a chilled cocktail glass. Pour the Mezcal, chartreuse, Aperol, and lime juice into a shaker. Fill it halfway with ice and shake it until it's well-chilled. Then strain the mix into the glass.
The Naked and Famous cocktail is a drink to savor. It is certainly not a cocktail that you chug down. And also with the high ABV of ingredients like Yellow Chartreuse, it is a rather potent drink.
