About
Goldschläger is a cinnamon-flavored schnapps produced in Switzerland, first created in 1875. It is a strong spirit distilled from grain alcohol and infused with cinnamon flavoring, typically bottled at 86-87 proof (43-43.5% ABV). The spirit is characterized by its deep red-amber color and intense cinnamon spice flavor profile, which provides both a sharp bite and warm spice notes. Goldschläger is known for its smooth finish despite high alcohol content, and the cinnamon flavor is derived from a proprietary blend that gives it a distinctive, peppery warmth distinct from other cinnamon liqueurs.
Culinary Uses
Goldschläger is used primarily in mixed drinks and cocktails, ranging from simple shots to complex mixed drinks. It serves as a base spirit in cinnamon-forward cocktails and is frequently used in "hot" shooters combined with cinnamon whiskey or other spicy spirits. In culinary applications, it can be used to flavor desserts, sauces, and glazes where cinnamon liqueur is desired, though its high proof requires careful measurement. The spirit pairs well with apple-based drinks and desserts, and is sometimes used in holiday-themed cocktails and punches.
