THE CABLE CAR

If you're looking for a cocktail that highlights the spice of a high-quality rum, it may be time to try The Cable Car. Essentially a twist on the Sidecar, the Cable Car swaps brandy for Captain Morgan Spiced Gold Rum. Its sweet, tart and lightly spiced flavours can warm you up on a chilly evening after work or cool you down after a hot day in the sun.

Method

* Lemon sour method:

1	Combine water and sugar in a pot.
2	If you're using it, add the zested lime at this point.
3	Heat until boiling. Then lower the heat to a simmer and slowly stir with a spoon until the sugar is dissolved.
4	Remove the pot from the heat. Add freshly squeezed lemon and lime juice to the mixture.
5	Pour the lemon sour mix into a container using a strainer to avoid getting pulp or zest in.
6	Place the mixture in the fridge.

Cocktail Method:

1	Rim a chilled cocktail glass with sugar.
2	In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, pour the Captain Morgan Spiced Gold Rum, orange liqueur, and lemon sour.
3	Shake well and strain into the rimmed glass.
4	Garnish with an orange twist.
5	Cheers!

Pro-tip:

It is important to use fine sugar when rimming a glass. The granulated sugar you use every day in the kitchen does not stick as well because the crystals are larger.
