A sophisticated and elegant cocktail
Between the Sheets is a classic cocktail said to have been created in the 1920s at the Hôtel Ritz in Paris. It is a variation of the Sidecar, but with a twist: the addition of light rum gives the drink a smoother and more complex character. The combination of cognac, light rum, triple sec and freshly squeezed lemon juice creates a balanced flavor profile that is both tart and sweet. This drink is perfect for those who appreciate sophisticated flavors and a hint of strength.
