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.
| 60ml | Captain Morgan Spiced Gold Rum |
| 60ml | Orange flavoured liqueur |
| Superfine sugar, for rimming | |
| 45ml | Lemon sour* |
| Orange twist, for garnish |
| 1 cup | Water |
| 1 cup | Sugar |
| 1 cup | Freshly squeezed lemon juice |
| ¼ cup | Freshly squeezed lime juice |
| Zest from 1 lime (optional) |
| 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. |
| 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.
