The Cable Car Cocktail is a super simple drink built with orange curacao<\/a>, spiced rum<\/a>, lime juice<\/a>, and sugar syrup!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cable Car Cocktail Info<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tony Abou-Ganim<\/a>, also known as The Modern Mixologist, is a bartending legend that co-founded the Starlight Room. He created the Cable Car cocktail to pay tribute to San Francisco's cable cars! The cable cars of San Francisco are an icon of a past era. They still climb the hills of San Francisco and carry commuters and tourists up and down busy streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This rum sour is sweet, tart, and lightly spiced, regardless of whether you are familiar with its name. The Cable Car cocktail is a modified Sidecar. It substitutes brandy with spiced rum, back then, spiced rum was very uncommon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abou-Ganim's original cocktails helped to establish San Francisco as a cocktail destination in an era that was defined by Cosmopolitan and other similar drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Captain Morgan was probably the most widely available spiced rum label at the time of Cable Car's inception. The Captain is probably still the most well-known of the category, but today there are plenty of other options. A more luxurious approach is to maybe use something like a Boukman Botanical Rhum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similar to a Sidecar or Brandy Crusta, the Cable Car includes an orange liqueur in addition to simple syrup for sweetness--specifically, orange curacao. using Bol's or something similar can make the drink heavy, so it's better to use a dry curacao. Abou-Ganim uses Marie Brizard Orange Curacao in the original recipe. Grand Marnier or maybe Cointreau would also work great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another aspect that made the Cable Car a classic is the way it was presented. Abou-Ganim uses a mixture of cinnamon and sugar to give the drink a punchier sweetness and a present hint of spice.<\/p>\n\n\n
