Today we're making the Between the Sheets and Embassy Cocktail! These drinks are essentially two variations on the Sidecar (one of my faves). Both recipes call for similar ingredients, but we'll see how different styles of the same spirit can change the outcom. Though they're separate cocktails, the result are two expressions of the same drink. Hope you enjoy the recipes. Cheers!
