This is a riff on the classic "Sidecar", replacing the brandy with spiced rum, and adding cinnamon to the sugared rim. Created by Tony Abou-Ganim in the 1990s, honoring the historic cable cars that run by his bar.

This may be the only classic, modern cocktail based on a spiced rum! It was invented when the folks from Captain Morgan wanted a new drink created, featuring their product.

Hi, I'm Scott Gardner, your mindful mixologist. While I am not a professional bartender, I have made well over two hundred different and unique cocktails, and invented over fifteen original drinks, including my famous European Vacation, Muzetta's Waltz, and The Cherry Bella, all of which can be found in my book, Lock it, Flip it, Kick it & Shake!
Besides shaking, stirring, and sipping, I also enjoy golfing, reading, and writing. My wife and I both love animals and we have recently gotten into birding, which is a fun and rewarding hobby. And our favorite birds... The Philadelphia Eagles, of course! Go Birds!
