Naked & Famous
The IdiotPerformed without a net
Also a Sam Ross creation, also from Milk & Honey, the Naked and Famous is a spiritual cousin to the Paper Plane — equal parts, high-proof, structured, aggressive. Unlike the Paper Plane it does not apologize for itself at any point. It has been described as "the Paper Plane if the Paper Plane stopped caring what you thought," which is why The Idiot drinks it.
Ingredients
- 1 oz
Mezcal
He uses whatever is on the table, which The President finds objectionable and The Idiot finds philosophically correct.
- 1 oz
Yellow Chartreuse
The green is too herbaceous for his purposes, he says, though his stated purposes change by session.
- 1 oz
Aperol
He uses Aperol here where The Treasurer will not touch it, which has been the subject of an ongoing debate that The Secretary has been asked to stop transcribing.
- 1 oz
Fresh lime juice
A float of génépy — an alpine liqueur made from artemisia plants grown above 2,000 meters. He produces a bottle annually from somewhere within his jacket. No one has found where.
Method
Shake equal parts over ice.
Strain into a chilled coupe.
He has, on three occasions, served it in a rocks glass over one enormous ice cube "for architectural interest." The Treasurer has opinions about this.
"I nominated myself for this title because I was the only one honest enough to claim it. You are all idiots. I am simply the only one with paperwork." — The Idiot, at his own induction.
