Description:
Between the Sheets is a strong citrus cocktail from the Sidecar family. Its origin is often linked to the bar culture of the 1920s and 1930s, though the exact story is disputed. The drink combines two spirit bases, making it richer and drier than many simple sours. Lemon acidity is especially important here: it keeps the cocktail from feeling heavy and makes the flavor more focused.
