What garnish is listed for the Naked and Famous?

• A. Olive
• B. Cherry
• C. Lemon twist
• D. None

Answer: (D)

Garnish balance is the idea here: this cocktail is designed to be served without a garnish to keep its aroma and flavor harmonies intact. Naked and Famous mixes mezcal, yellow Chartreuse, Aperol, and lime juice, then is shaken and served up. Adding any garnish would introduce extra oils or flavors that could tilt the citrus-forward, smoky, herbal profile away from its intended balance. Leaving the garnish off preserves the drink as written, so no garnish is listed. If someone prefers, a lime aroma can be enhanced by the citrus oils from the drink itself, but the standard presentation remains garnish-free.
