The Cable Car is a cocktail created in 1996 by Tony Abou-Ganim.[1] A modern variant on the classic Sidecar, it commemorates the Starlight Room in the Drake Hotel in San Francisco.[2]
The recipe varies, but generally involves (specifically) Captain Morgan Spiced Rum, orange Curaçao, and lemon sour, garnished with a cinnamon-sugared rim.
