Last Sunday, Andrea and I went over to Green Street to pay Derric and Dylan a visit. For my first drink, I asked Derric Crothers to make me a Between the Sheets off of the big A-to-Z menu. It is a drink I have had before a few years ago (at Cucchi Cucchi of all places), but I have never written about here. Well, I did write about it in the Mixology Monday posting about the Hoop La for the two are identical save for the Hoop La having Lillet in place of the Between the Sheet's rum. Both could be considered "+1" versions of the Sidecar, and the Between the Sheets dates back to a similar time period of the 1920s or 1930s.

Reminder, that's like a Dale DeGroff Between the Sheets. The original is not at all an equal parts cocktail: Between-The-Sheets Cocktail
1 Dash Lemon Juice.
1/3 Brandy.
1/3 Cointreau.
1/3 Bacardi Rum.
Shake well and strain into cocktail glass.
Thanks for posting the original recipe -- I wrote the entry at work where I was separated from my library. Cafe Royal has your recipe (although 1934 Boothby has it as a gin-not-brandy no lemon juice recipe?).
Although I would disagree that the more modern recipe has been DeGroffified for it is drier than the original And the DeGroff version uses Benedictine, not rum, in his non-equal parts recipe.
