Between the Sheets is an interestingly complex cocktail that is also referred to as a Maiden's Prayer. Try substituting either apricot brandy or peach schnapps for the brandy for a fruitier flavor.

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 oz brandy
  • 3/4 oz light rum
  • 3/4 oz triple sec
  • 1/2 oz lemon juice
  • lemon twist for garnish

Preparation:

  1. Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
  2. Shake well.
  3. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
  4. Garnish with the lemon twist.

Easy, delicious, potent cocktail, Member horribilis

My husband and I experimented with a Between The Sheets on a hot spring night in Southern CA and were very pleasantly rewarded with a delicious, easy-to-drink, attractive cocktail with very simple ingredients and foolproof instructions. I plan to have it again. It's very similar to a Sidecar, but really, I think it's nicer and fresher-tasting.
