Probably making its first appearance in Harry's New York Bar in Paris, in the 1930s, Between the Sheets is a beautifully balanced drink - when made properly.

It's a variation of the Side-car cocktail and was said to have been invented by Harry MacElhone who simply replaced some of the cognac with white rum, giving it more of a summery feel.

On the other hand, according to some sources it was invented by Mr. Polly, manager of the Berkeley Hotel, London, in about 1921. Nothing is certain in the world of cocktails!

Between the Sheets fell out of favour for a time but with today's ever-increasing interest in cocktails, it's back up there with the best. And where does the name originate? Maybe too many of these and you will be between the sheets!

Between the Sheets

• 1 part Cognac
• 1 part white rum
• 1 part Cointreau
• ½ part lemon juice

Cointreau (pronounced [kwan'-tro]) is a brand of triple sec liqueur, and produced in Saint-Barthélemy-d'Anjou, a suburb of Angers, France. Cointreau sources its oranges from all over the world, usually Spain, Brazil and Haïti.^[1][2]

In addition to being imbibed as an apéritif, Cointreau is sometimes used as a digestif. Cointreau is considered to be either a premium brand triple sec or a unique category of liqueur. With a 40% alcohol content, Cointreau is strong for a triple sec which usually has an alcohol content around 23%.^[1]

[edit] Production

Cointreau Distillery was set up in 1849 by Adolphe Cointreau, a confectioner, and his brother Edouard-Jean Cointreau from Angers. Their first success was with the cherry liqueur, guignolet, but it was when they concocted a blend of sweet and bitter orange peels and pure alcohol from sugar beets that the success of the enterprise was confirmed definitively.^[1] In 1875, the first bottles of Cointreau were sold. It is now estimated that thirteen million bottles are sold each year, in more than 200 countries. 95% of production is exported.^[1]

The production methods and recipe are a family secret, but tours of the distillery are open to the public. Photography is restricted in many areas to protect the production process from being copied.

Burlesque entertainer Dita Von Teese recently became the new face of Cointreau.^[3]
