Everything You Need to Know About The Between the Sheets

The Between the Sheets is a classic cocktail shrouded in mystery. Its name and origins remain unknown with both 1930's New York and a 19th Century Parisian brothel vying for its place of birth. Like the Brandy Daisy and the Sidecar, it uses brandy or cognac as its base, yet pushes the decadence meter with equal measures of light rum and orange liqueur. Sophisticated and seductive, it's the perfect cocktail for a special occasion or romantic evening.
