History

Year2011

PlaceNew York, USA

Created byJoaquín Simó

Joaquín Simó created the Naked & Famous in 2011 in New York, an equal-parts mezcal riff on the Last Word and Paper Plane. Mezcal, yellow Chartreuse, Aperol and lime give it smoke, herbs, bitterness and tartness in balance. Its name comes from a Tricky song of the 1990s. It quickly joined the modern equal-parts canon.
