History:
The first known recipe for Between The Sheets cocktail appeared in Frank Shay's 1929 Drawn From Wood and this calls for equal parts gin, rum and triple sec. (Whereas the Between the Sheets No. 3, the version that has become the modern-day standard is with brandy in place of gin.)
Review:
Light rum and gin freshened and invigorated with citrus. This is the bright, youthful warm-up act of the Between the Sheets trilogy.
