The Naked & Famous cocktail brings a contemporary twist to classic cocktail culture. By using our Filo de Agave Reposado Tequila, the drink elevates the smoky allure traditionally found in mezcal to a smooth, rich complexity that complements the bittersweet and herbal notes perfectly.
Our Reposado Tequila infuses the cocktail with a refined depth, enhancing its layered profile. This makes the Naked & Famous not just a drink, but an exploration of nuanced flavors ideal for any occasion that calls for a touch of elegance and innovation.
Created in 2011 by Joaquín Simó at the acclaimed Death & Co. in New York City, the Naked & Famous is a modern riff on the Last Word. Originally featuring mezcal, this version substitutes with Filo de Agave Reposado Tequila, offering a smoother yet equally complex profile.
Simó’s intention was to craft a cocktail that stands out, balancing the potent herbal notes of Yellow Chartreuse with the bittersweetness of Aperol. Our Reposado Tequila enhances this balance, adding a rich, smooth finish that elevates the drink to new heights.
