What is goldschlager?

Goldschlager is a Swiss cinnamon schnapps liqueur that is known for its distinctive appearance. It is produced by adding real gold flakes to a mixture of cinnamon, alcohol, and sugar. The gold flakes give the liqueur a shimmering, metallic look that is visually striking.

Goldschlager has a sweet and spicy flavor profile, with notes of cinnamon and other warm spices. It is often served as a shot or in cocktails, and is popular for its unique appearance and festive vibe.

Despite its name, Goldschlager does not actually contain any gold; the gold flakes are purely for visual effect and are safe to consume. The liqueur typically has a high alcohol content, around 40% ABV.
