The naked and famous is an IBA official cocktail, consisting of equal parts mezcal, yellow Chartreuse, Aperol, and fresh lime juice.

History

The naked and famous was created by Joaquín Simó at Death and Company in New York in 2011, as a mezcal-based variant of the last word and paper plane. He described it as:

This cocktail is the bastard child born out of an illicit Oaxacan love affair between the classic Last Word and the Paper Plane.

It was added to the list of IBA official cocktails in the 2020 edition.
