How To Make A Between The Sheets

Now that your bar is in place and fully stocked, you need to learn how to make a Between the Sheets. A Between the Sheets is a important weapon in your cocktail arsenal. It's a sweet and sour cocktail that's good for entertaining both the heavy drinkers and the lightweights at your next party. A Between the Sheets is a good cocktail for an at home bar because it isn't overly complicated and calls for basic ingredients that your bar already has.
 

• Brandy
• Rum
• Triple sec
• Lemon juice

1. Pour a 1/2 oz of brandy into your cocktail shaker. It's better to use your less expensive brandy for mixed drinks. This way your Between the Sheets will give you all of the warmth of a brandy cocktail without ruining the flavor of the good stuff.
2. Pour a 1/2 oz of rum on top of the brandy. Rum is what gives a Between the Sheets its spice. There are two kinds of rum; light rum and dark rum. The kind of rum that you use will effect the overall flavor of your Between the Sheets. If you want to make a stronger drink with more spice, then stick to a dark rum. Dark rums are stronger and made with a bit more spice. If you want your Between the Sheets to have a more subtle flavor, then stick to the light rum. 
3. Pour a 1/2 oz of triple sec into the shaker. Triple sec is a staple mixer that's used to give your Between the Sheets a subtle sweetness. 
4. Add 1/2 oz. of lemon juice. The lemon juice will give your Between the Sheets a sour flavor. You can get concentrated lemon juice at any grocery store, but if you really want to give your guests a treat, make your Between the Sheets with fresh lemon juice. 
5. Put the lid on your cocktail shaker and mix well. After your Between the Sheets is mixed, you can serve it straight up or on the rocks.
