About Cable Car

The Cable Car is a contemporary classic cocktail that captures the essence of a traditional Sidecar with a modern twist. It blends the bold, spiced character of Captain Morgan's Rum with the vibrant citrus notes of Orange Curacao, while the Sweet and Sour Mix adds a balanced tangy sweetness. This harmonious combination results in a refreshing and sophisticated cocktail that is both smooth and invigorating.

The Cable Car was created in 1996 by bartender Tony Abou-Ganim at the Starlight Room in San Francisco. Its name pays homage to the city's iconic cable cars, and the cocktail itself has become a celebrated part of the modern cocktail renaissance. With its delightful blend of flavors, the Cable Car offers a taste experience that is both timeless and innovative, making it a favorite for those who enjoy a well-crafted cocktail with a touch of history.

This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Rocks or Old-Fashioned Glass, though any glass works!

Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!
