The Cable Car is a simple variation on a classic Sidecar. Spiced rum is used in place of cognac and the drink is finished with a cinnamon sugar rim for some warming spice.


Created by bartending icon Tony Abou-Ganim as an homage to San Francisco's vintage transportation that passes by the Starlight Room which he co-founded.
