Cable car Cocktail Recipe

The Cable Car cocktail was created in 1996 by Tony Abou-Ganim at the Starlight Room in San Francisco. Made with spiced rum, orange liqueur, and fresh lemon juice, this modern classic is served in a sugar and cinnamon-rimmed glass and offers a perfectly balanced blend of sweetness, spice, and citrus—an elegant twist on the timeless Sidecar.
