And lemon.
The Cable Car is a modern classic that reimagines the Sidecar using spiced rum as the base. The vanilla and baking spice notes of the rum pair with orange curacao and lemon, creating a warm, aromatic profile suitable for cooler weather. The cinnamon-sugar rim is integral to the experience, adding texture and reinforcing the spice profile. It is one of the definitive cocktails of the late 90s San Francisco revival.
