In honor of Valentine’s Day—LBF’s favorite holiday—things get sweet, sour, smoky, and just a little exposed. The Naked & Famous is bold, balanced, and confident enough to order without explaining yourself. It’s basically the cocktail version of a great Valentine’s date: exciting, a little dangerous, and worth the mess.

00:01Oh my gosh! Don't knock anything over!
00:06Are you going to turn that to a lie on camera?
00:08You're on camera!
00:09It's Valentine's Day!
00:10Move this way more!
00:11This way?
00:12Yeah, yeah, perfect!
00:13It's Valentine's Day! It's Valentine's Day!
00:17Mom loves Valentine's Day!
00:19Oh, this is big!
00:21It's her favorite!
00:22It's my favorite!
00:23It is big!
00:24Okay, Dan, are you in the camera?
00:26I think, I can't tell. Lucy, can you see both of us?
00:29Yes.
00:30Ah!
00:31Alright.
00:32Alright, my camera woman.
00:34Alright, welcome to Valentine's Day!
00:38Follow me up!
00:41Happy Valentine's Day!
00:43Yay!
00:44I know you have to perform.
00:46Okay.
00:47Unzip me.
00:47Unzip me, baby!
00:49Okay.
00:50You've got to come out.
00:53I guess we're good to go.
00:55You picked out a drink for Valentine's Day.
00:58I sure did.
00:58Now that you're out of your giant heart, blow-up heart outfit.
01:02Did you throw out the other drink?
01:04Did you throw it out the drink?
01:06Oh, alright.
01:06I mean, I just didn't watch the wits.
01:08Oh, jeez!
01:09I've never seen such panic before!
01:12Did you throw out the drink?
01:14Jeez!
01:20Today is about love.
01:21It's about love.
01:22It's about love.
01:22It's about Valentine's Day.
01:24And so we were thinking about, I was thinking about a drink.
01:27They wanted to do a different drink, but I said, no, no, it's not really Valentine's Day enough.
01:30So I chose a Valentine's Day drink that is both pink and a little bit...
01:36Pinkish.
01:37Yeah, pinkish.
01:38And a little, it's a little dirty because it's called the Naked and Famous.
01:41It's a great, it's a famous...
01:44It's a famous drink.
01:44It's a famous drink.
01:45It's very delicious.
01:47It's, you know...
01:48It's invented in some cool bar in New York City or something.
01:50Maybe the Dead Rabbit?
01:52Maybe.
01:52Maybe.
01:52I don't know.
01:53You didn't give me time to look anything up.
01:54I hated to look anything up this time.
01:56Because you don't like when I start telling my stories.
01:59But I do have a story to tell about this.
02:03Yes, go ahead.
02:04By the way, for those of you who like Mezcal...
02:07Vita is excellent.
02:08Most people don't.
02:09And Vita is excellent and like totally affordable, like reasonable.
02:15Yeah, reasonable.
02:15It's really good.
02:16Yeah.
02:17But you want to know a thing about Mezcal?
02:18Please tell me.
02:21All tequila is Mezcal.
02:24But...
02:25You're a tequila girl.
02:26Did you know this?
02:27Yes, but what's Mezcal?
02:28All Mez...
02:29Now you messed me up!
02:32No, so all tequila is Mezcal, but...
02:35Not all Mezcal is tequila.
02:40Right.
02:40It's kind of like bourbon and whiskey, right?
02:42Yes.
02:43Kind of.
02:44All bourbon is whiskey, but not all whiskey is bourbon.
02:47You get the idea.
02:48Yeah, I get it.
02:48So Mezcal...
02:49So tequila is made in a particular region.
02:51Mezcal is made widely throughout Mexico.
02:54But it tends to be a smokier profile.
02:59It's...
03:00Yeah, it's like...
03:00It's...
03:01Like scotch whiskey.
03:03It tends to be smokier.
03:05Smokier.
03:07Smokier.
03:08I don't know what you're talking about.
03:09Alright, but let's just do this.
03:11So we're going to make this drink?
03:12Yeah, we're going to make it.
03:13Naked and Famous.
03:15You know who was Naked and Famous?
03:16Kim Kardashian.
03:18And what are the measurements for these?
03:20Three quarters.
03:20Three quarters.
03:21Three quarters.
03:21Three quarters.
03:22Across the board.
03:23And it contains chartreuse.
03:26Okay.
03:27Oh.
03:28So be careful.
03:29This is important.
03:30It's got to be yellow chartreuse for this particular drink.
03:33There's green chartreuse.
03:34Different.
03:35Aperol from your Aperol Spritz.
03:37Do you have a brunch?
03:37Right.
03:38So your Italian...
03:41French.
03:42Tequila.
03:43And your French chartreuse.
03:45Hi.
03:46Look at us all.
03:47Mezcal.
03:48Mezcal.
03:49International love.
03:50Love is love.
03:52And some fresh lime juice.
03:54So what are we going to do, LBF?
03:56We're going to shake it.
03:57Yeah.
03:58Because you shake anything with lime juice.
04:00That's the general rule.
04:02Well, juice.
04:04Lime juice.
04:06Alright, I'm going to...
04:08I like to go on a bit, sorry.
04:10But you, by all means, it's your show.
04:12Keep talking.
04:12Oh, I will.
04:14Three quarters.
04:14Two quarters.
04:15And you are interrupted with facts.
04:21So Valentine's Day.
04:22I love Valentine's Day.
04:23It doesn't have to be about romantic love.
04:31It can be about the person you love.
04:33Like you love your teacher or you love your...
04:37What am I thinking on a bus driver?
04:38I'm trying to say Valentine's Day is for everyone.
04:40It is for everyone.
04:42It's a huge mansplaining.
04:43Like everyone.
04:43But that's not mansplaining.
04:45That was not mansplaining.
04:47And I don't think of that.
04:49I dropped that one.
04:50Hold on.
04:51Because honestly, what can I really explain?
04:55I don't know that much.
04:57So yeah.
04:58I just think it's a good opportunity for a person to say I appreciate it.
05:02Wherever you go.
05:03Favorite like cashier, your favorite barista, your favorite co-worker.
05:07Or even just like not even your favorite.
05:08Just somebody you like.
05:10These are the smallest lines, by the way.
05:14No.
05:15I'm going to be searching for juice in these suckers.
05:19I had a thing to say, but I feel like to be objective if I said something a little off
05:24-color.
05:24Yeah, I don't think you should go there.
05:26But you say the cold fruit...
05:28Is a stingy fruit.
05:29Yeah.
05:29It's true.
05:30Yes, that's right.
05:31Cold as ice right there.
05:33By the way, this is love.
05:34I'll tell you right now.
05:36Because Dave Falcone was complaining that our cutting boards were too big.
05:40And what did I do today?
05:41I went out and bought some little ones.
05:43What?
05:43That was a...
05:44Excuse me.
05:44Yeah.
05:44That's like...
05:45Excuse me!
05:45It's the little stuff.
05:46You understand it.
05:49You would never qualify that as a complaint.
05:52Oh.
05:53Qualify that as a complaint?
05:55I didn't complain.
05:56What?
05:57You remembered...
05:58I think it was very sweet that you remembered I lamented the fact that I didn't have a small...
06:05A lamented!
06:06...cutting board for the bar, and you actually went out and got one.
06:10Yeah, exactly.
06:10That's so sweet.
06:12No.
06:13Talk about Valentine.
06:14So we've been watching the Muppets, and they've decided that...
06:16I've decided, actually, that Dave and I have a very Miss Piggy-Kermit relationship.
06:23Park me while I get some ice.
06:24Yeah.
06:25I just think it's kind of been like that.
06:27And that's what love is.
06:29Well, Miss Piggy-Kermit, and me, and David.
06:34So I'm trying to think of my favorite Valentine's Day.
06:39I hear it.
06:40Like I like to say, don't be stingy with the ice.
06:43Don't be stingy with the ice.
06:44All right.
06:45Let's throw this right in.
06:47Yeah?
06:48Yeah.
06:50Okay.
06:50Trust.
06:51Love is trust.
06:52It's such a charm.
06:53Come on.
06:55It's...
06:56It's actually okay here.
06:57It's physics.
06:58Because we moved the bar, by the way.
06:59We moved the bar, and now it's back to...
07:01It's physics.
07:01It's science, somehow.
07:03Anyway, are we...
07:06Are we ready to shake this drink?
07:07Yeah.
07:08I think it was still on the camera issue.
07:10I hope so.
07:11I hope so, too.
07:15Do you have a memorable Valentine's Day?
07:19Are we?
07:19Oh.
07:20Every time a memorable Valentine's Day would really hit me always.
07:26We're almost there.
07:28I can feel it.
07:30Yeah.
07:34Anyway, he took me to a really expensive restaurant.
07:36It was so expensive.
07:37We were, like, dating, and you had that little pen.
07:39Oh, this was, like, way back.
07:40Yeah, yeah.
07:40I had not a penny to my name.
07:43I still, to this day, don't know how I paid for that meal.
07:46And he took me to a restaurant in Boston that's now closed.
07:48By the way, we had the coop chilling.
07:50Okay.
07:51And took me...
07:51It was an espalier, and we had no money, and...
07:54When it was still in that little townhouse thing.
07:56Yeah.
07:56And it was so expensive.
07:58It was, like, so many years ago.
08:00And he pulled up in his...
08:04Doubles?
08:05Don't make fun of my marquee retail thighs.
08:08I love that car.
08:09What?
08:09No, you didn't.
08:10It was the one car I had that I actually...
08:13But it was important, like, important, because I...
08:15Generally, I love all my cars.
08:17Yes, I know.
08:17But the thing is, is that...
08:18Would you like to do the honors?
08:20Yeah.
08:20Double strain?
08:20But he...
08:23Fingers on the rim of the...
08:25Oh!
08:25Anyway.
08:26So, I'm telling a story.
08:28God!
08:30And...
08:30Keep...
08:31Can't...
08:31Don't burn yourself on your...
08:32He balleted...
08:34The...
08:35What was it?
08:36Topaz?
08:37Mercury Topaz.
08:39And they pull...
08:40I almost like...
08:40Two-tone...
08:41Mercury Topaz, I might add.
08:44And they pulled up...
08:47And...
08:47And...
08:50I still loved you.
08:51I was like...
08:52Well, that...
08:53So, true love.
08:53It is.
08:54It's true love.
08:55Because everyone else was pulling up in really fancy cars, and you had your two-tone Topaz,
09:00and I was like, this is a man's love.
09:02And so, there you go.
09:05Nicely done there, LBF.
09:07I know how to do it.
09:08And when you...
09:10Does this drink call for a garnish?
09:12No, it doesn't.
09:13No.
09:14Look at that.
09:14It does it.
09:14Get naked.
09:15Get famous.
09:16Thumbs up.
09:19Smoky.
09:20Sweet.
09:21All those things.
09:22A little sour.
09:24Smoky, sweet, and sour.
09:26Yep.
09:26Nice!
09:27Cheers, may I?
09:28Yes.
09:28Lauren, what drink does this remind you of?
09:30A paper plane.
09:31Yeah.
09:33It tastes totally different.
09:34Well, yeah.
09:35You know, it's like...
09:36The next drink could be a Mile High Club.
09:38You see, paper plane, make it famous, Mile High.
09:40We've got to do a variation on that.
09:42Yeah, it is.
09:43All right, well...
09:44So...
09:45Yeah.
09:46Congratulations.
09:46Are you going to spit out some facts?
09:49Nope.
09:51Happy Valentine's Day!
09:52Happy Valentine's Day!
09:54Mwah!
09:55Happy Valentine's Day!
09:57I don't like all the jib jab.
09:59I'm just saying.
10:03You are so mean.
10:05But you want to be on this side, right?
10:06I do.
10:06So just go scooch over and I'll just go the other way.
10:08I'm scooching.
10:09All right.
10:10And I'll just stay in the front.
10:11Okay.
10:11How's my hair look?
10:13Not...yeah.
10:14Your hair looks great!
10:18Go look.
10:21Just tell me.
10:23Am I standing up straight?
10:24No, I'm not.
10:25No.
10:26All right, Lucy, you have to be quiet for 10 minutes.
10:29All right?
10:29It's not happening.
10:31That's never going to happen.
10:32All right.
10:33So if you hear Lucy in the background, then that's the way it goes.
10:35Very good job.
10:35We're going to hang out all the way down here.
