Liquor TypeCinnamon schnapps and cinnamon whiskey liqueurs are not the same! However, they are often listed as an alternative or comparison. Goldschlager cinnamon schnapps is a clear, neutrally sweetened liquor whereas cinnamon whiskey is dark. Do you remember your first shot of Goldschläger? I don't. Do you want to know why? Six years ago I was told that the tiny flakes of gold in the liqueur were meant to cut the inside of your throat so that the alcohol could make it into your bloodstream and get you drunk faster. For years I've feared the stuff, picturing dozens of tiny knives slicing into my throat and getting me hammered in twenty minutes flat (I'm a light weight.) If you or someone you know was ever duped by this rumor, I'm here to tell you that it's all a lie. The first accounts of edible gold in Europe are from around the Middle Ages when they would use gold leaf as food decoration as well as for medicinal purposes. During the Renaissance in Europe, Paracelsus, the so-called “father of modern pharmacology,” was known to have used gold in a variety of pills and powders for medicinal purposes.
