While most people of legal drinking age have passed a bottle of the gold-flaked drink on a liquor store shelf, very few people seem to know much about how it came to be that this mysterious brand started putting real gold into their product. a b Venable, Shannon (2011).

While drinking gold may seem like the ultimate luxury, the metal actually has no taste whatsoever and adds nothing to the flavor profile of this schnapps, or any other food that it’s in.

In the decades since, buzz around the liqueur has waned considerably, but its reputation as a spirit blessed with a Midas touch begs the question: How much gold is in Goldschläger, really?

But the choice to begin producing the Swiss-originated alcohol in a different European nation was made. It’s the ideal party piece, particularly throughout the festive season when you want to whip out drinks that say ‘sparkle’. This is pure bling in a bottle.
