General
Goldschlager is a cinnamon schnapps. It is a clear drink and comes in a rather attractive bell shaped bottle.  The main distinguishing feature of this drink is that it has flecks of gold leaf floating in it. Apparantly the gold just passes through you so it may well pay to pass water through a tea strainer after a session on this drink.

I have in my possession some rather nice labelled shot glasses. This sort of thing always adds to the enjoyment of a drink. It's available in most bars in Belfast and costs about £17 a bottle in off-licenses.


Review of Goldschlager
If you like cinnamon, then you'll love this drink. It has a really rich and warm taste and you can certainly feel it going down. The flavour is a bit harsh due to the high alcohol content but it goes down extremely well as a shooter.

This drink more that any other has been responsible for many great nights. Because it is easy to drink you take  far too many of them too quickly. I have seen the people carried out of bars after their first experience with this drink and it has caused me to forget portions of an evening at times.

This is a great winter warmer and is guaranteed to liven up any evening. One of my personal favourites at present.
