Naked and (Almost) Famous Equal Parts: @delmagueymezcal Vida Mezcal @aperolusa Lime Juice Yellow Chartreuse ( in this case, I used @strega1860 ) Shake, strain, serve up with a lime wedge if you want it. The Naked and Famous is a twist on the paper plane, which itself was a twist on the classic last word. This drink was created by Joaquin Simo. It's got a great mix of smokey, bitter, sweet, herbal, and citrus flavors. Yellow Chartreuse is Green Chartreuse's lesser celebrated but equally awesome sibling. It packs less punch in terms of ABV but compensates with a wonderful saffron addition that compliments a milder version of the herbal notes the original green is known for. Strega is a herbal Italian digestif that features saffron as a main ingredient and although it's not an exact clone of yellow chartreuse, it's quite similar.
