BETWEEN THE SHEETS — THE MOST SCANDALOUS DRINK IN THE CANON

The name earned every bit of it. This is a pre-Prohibition Paris original — born at Harry's New York Bar when American expats fled Prohibition and Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and Gershwin were all drinking in the same room.

Someone took a Sidecar and decided it needed to hit harder. Then they named It accordingly.

What's in the glass:

• Hine Rare VSOP Cognac — One of the most elegant Cognacs in the game. Floral, refined, dried fruit backbone. The weight of the build.

• Denizen 5 Year Aged White Rum — Structure without the funk. Lightens it up, adds a little sweetness.

• Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao — Real orange, no sugar rush. Ties the whole thing together.

• Fresh lemon juice — The thing that keeps it from getting heavy.

The Build: 1oz Hine Rare VSOP | 1oz Denizen 5yr Aged White | 1oz Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao | ¼–½oz fresh lemon juice

Shake hard over ice until properly chilled and diluted. Double strain into a chilled coupe. Express lemon twist over the glass, rim it, drop It in. It drinks like a Sidecar that went to an after-party.
