Between the Sheets

Description

Between the Sheets should feel intentional from the first sip, not like a random mixture poured over ice. White rum, cognac, triple sec and lemon juice give it a flavour story that is easy to understand but not boring. The best version has a clear beginning, middle and finish: aroma first, then sweetness or fruit, then enough acidity or bitterness to clean up the sip.

That makes it useful for home mixing because it feels generous without needing complicated technique.
