Yellow Chartreuse cocktail FAQ

What is a Naked and Famous?

Equal parts mezcal, yellow Chartreuse, Aperol, and lime — a smoky, bittersweet cousin of the Last Word. It is the drink that uses the yellow bottle in this catalog.

Is yellow Chartreuse required, or will green work?

Green will overpower the Aperol and mezcal. Buy yellow if Naked and Famous is the drink you want; pantry matching will not treat green as a substitute.
