Ep. 131 Between the Sheets: A Cocktail Worth the Scandal
Uncle Brad and Jules explore the sophisticated and slightly scandalous Between the Sheets cocktail in this episode of The Art of Drinking. Uncle Brad walks through a few potential origin stories for this Prohibition-era classic - a variation on the Sidecar that balances cognac, rum, triple sec, and lemon juice into a drink worthy of its suggestive name. Meanwhile, Jules transforms the 1930s original with her signature tropical twist, bringing sun-soaked flavors to the elegant base. Whether you prefer your Between the Sheets straight from the Jazz Age or with a vacation vibe, this episode delivers both history and innovation in equal measure.
