🙋 what is Goldschläger?
Goldschläger is a Swiss cinnamon liqueur that is very thin and has gold flakes floating in it. It is 87 proof and has an intense cinnamon flavor.
- The actual amount of gold has been measured at approximately 13 mg (0.20 grams) in a one-liter bottle.
- Goldschläger is the German word for “gold beater”, which refers to the profession of gold leaf makers who beat bars of gold into extremely thin sheets.
- I first purchased this bottle of Goldschläger five years ago to create my Gold Royale Cocktail for a New Year’s Eve celebration!
