One of the great things about cocktails is that once you know a base recipe, you can always modify the elements are create something entirely new! That is definitely true for this riff on the Sidecar. The Cable Car swaps out the Cognac with Spiced Rum, adding a bold new flavor to the mix. For our recipe we chose to use Cointreau for our “orange liqueur”, but you can use Dry Curacao if you prefer (which was our choice for the Sidecar recipe).
This recipe comes from the amazing cocktail book by Steve the Bartender, and it’s definitely worth picking up a copy HERE.
Cheers!
