Between the Sheets

A twist on the classic Sidecar, Between the Sheets is a rum cocktail that is bright and tangy. It features Cognac, Triple Sec, and a splash of lemon juice. If you love the Sidecar, be sure to give this recipe a try!

The classic combination of spirit, orange liqueur, and citrus juice is a prohibition classic that stems from the Sidecar. The Sidecar cocktail is made with Cognac and the margarita with the same formula featuring tequila. Between the Sheets starts as a Sidecar and then adds rum for a delightful, satisfying, and sassy drink.
