📜 History

Tony Abou-Ganim created the Cable Car in 1996 at San Francisco's Starlight Room, naming it after the city's iconic transit system. This Sidecar variation substitutes spiced rum for cognac and adds a distinctive cinnamon-sugar rim that complements the rum's baking spice notes. The drink helped establish Abou-Ganim as one of the craft cocktail renaissance's leading figures.
