About
This cocktail was created by Zack Gelnaw-Rubin (@zgrcocktails) at Attaboy in New York City in 2024. After several guests asked for something along the lines of a Naked & Famous, Zack replaced the Yellow Chartreuse with Giffard Elderflower liqueur, a substitution he said worked on the first try. The name continues the musical connection behind the original, borrowing its title from “Naked in the Rain” by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I used St-Germain because that was what I had on hand. It takes the Naked and Famous in a softer, more floral direction while keeping the smoky, bittersweet, and tart structure of the original. I've shared the Mezcal Little Wing, which is the same drink except with cucumber slices added.Cheers y’all!
