Good to Know

What glass is a Naked and Famous served in?
A coupe. The stem keeps your hand away from the cold drink, and the curved rim makes it far harder to spill than a V-shaped martini glass.
Is a Naked and Famous shaken or stirred?
Shaken. It contains citrus, juice, cream or egg, which need the force and aeration of shaking.
How strong is a Naked and Famous?
About 15% ABV after dilution, or roughly 1.2 US standard drinks (17 g of alcohol) per serve.
How many calories are in a Naked and Famous?
Roughly 168 kcal per drink, most of it from alcohol.
Can I make a Naked and Famous without mezcal?
Yes. Tequila Blanco is the closest substitute, though the drink will taste different.
