History

The Between the Sheets cocktail was created in the 1930s. It is often attributed to Harry MacElhone, when he worked at Harry's New York Bar in Paris. This cocktail is a variation of the Sidecar, where rum is added to the classic recipe, making it a slightly softer and more complex blend. The cocktail's suggestive name reflects the era of the Roaring Twenties, when cocktail names often played on bold and playful themes.

Decoration

Depending on preference: - Lemon zest in the glass - Sugar on the rim of the glass - Maraschino cherry on a toothpick
