Goldschläger

Those little gold flakes floating in the bottle? They’re real gold — edible 24-karat leaf. Goldschläger is a Swiss cinnamon schnapps that was a shot-bar staple in the ’90s and still has its fans. The cinnamon flavor is strong and sweet, making it popular in the Cinnamon Toast Crunch shot when mixed with RumChata. It also works dropped into a pint of cider. At 43.5% ABV it hits harder than most people expect from something that tastes like candy. Fun party trick, decent mixer, conversation starter guaranteed.
