What is in Goldschlager and why is it served cold?
Answers:
Goldschl?ger is a Swiss cinnamon schnapps (43.5% alcohol by volume, originally it was 53.5% alcohol or 107 proof), a clear liqueur with very thin, yet visible flakes of gold floating in it. The actual amount of gold is extremely small and serves as a sort of novelty: there is currently less than a tenth of a gram (0.1 g) of gold flakes in a 750 ml bottle of Goldschl?ger, which, as of February 5, 2007, amounts to about 2.10 USD on the international gold market.
Despite having Swiss origins, Goldschl?ger is a product of Italy. A similar alcoholic beverage that contains gold is Gold Strike.
A few years after its introduction, Goldschl?ger was reformulated to contain less gold due to some alleged accounts of individuals suffering allergic reactions. The human body is not able to digest precious metals.
It is often claimed the flakes of gold cause tiny tears in the throat, thus allowing the alcohol to enter the bloodstream quicker. It is not clear if this is true or not, but popular opinion tends towards it being a myth.
Enjoyed frequently in North America when mixed in equal portions with J?germeister (better when shaken on ice) in a concoction known as Liquid Cocaine, Golden Elk or J?gerSchl?ger. Be advised, this drink is not designed for the palate, but does provide an unusual type of buzz.
It's a cinnamon liquor, kind of burny so when it's chilled it goes down smoothly
