The Cable Car is an excellent rum drink which was created by Tony Abou-Ganim, the "Modern Mixologist." It involves Captain Morgan spiced rum and orange curacao, of which the original recipe calls for Marie Bizard. Also, in Abou-Ganim's recipe is a fresh lemon sour which is made by mixing 1 part simple syrup with 2 parts fresh lemon juice. A prepared sour mix will work, but his suggestion is strongly preferred. The name Cable Car was inspired by the tracks near the Starlight Room in San Fransisco where he first created with cocktail.
