About
This equal parts cocktail was created in 2016 by Grant Wheeler at The Garret (New York City). It is similar to a Naked and Famous, but with added island warmth from falernum and a subtle fiery kick from habanero. The spice lifts the smokiness of the mezcal while the Aperol keeps everything bright and refreshing.Cheers y’all!
