The Cable Car is a modern variant of the classic Sidecar cocktail. Traditionally made with a spiced rum, Orange Curaçao and lemon sour. Our Dry Land version opts for a spiced version of our own Aged Cane Rum, giving it added depth of flavor and using our favorite local orange liqueur from Grovestreet Alchemy.
