“The Naked & Famous was created in 2011 by bartender Joaquín Simó at the legendary New York City cocktail bar Death & Co. Simó described it as "the bastard love child borne out of an illicit Oaxacan love affair between a classic Last Word and Sam Ross' Paper Plane cocktail." This modern classic follows the equal-parts formula of its predecessors while introducing mezcal as the base spirit and Yellow Chartreuse for herbal sweetness. The name references a lyric from Tricky's 1996 song "Tricky Kid." The IBA canonized it as an official cocktail in 2020, cementing its status as a modern classic that helped popularize mezcal in cocktail culture.”
