1/2 shot(s) Jagermeister
1/2 shot(s) Goldschlager

In a shot glass pour 1/2 jaeger and 1/2 goldschlager. Very potent, tastes great!

Goldschläger is a Swiss cinnamon schnapps (43.5% alcohol by volume, originally it was 53.5% alcohol or 107 proof), a clear liqueur with very thin, yet visible flakes of gold floating in it. The actual amount of gold is extremely small and serves as a sort of novelty: there is currently less than a tenth of a gram (0.1 g) of gold flakes in a 750 ml bottle of Goldschläger, which, as of September 28, 2007, amounts to about 2.39 USD on the international gold market.

Despite having Swiss origins, Goldschläger is a product of Italy. A similar alcoholic beverage that contains gold is Gold Strike and another liqueur with floating bits of gold leaf is Danziger Goldwasser, a German root and herbal liqueur which has been produced since at least 1598. The German word Goldschläger actually means "gold leaf maker".

A few years after its introduction, Goldschläger was reformulated to contain less gold due to some alleged accounts of individuals suffering allergic reactions. The human body is not able to digest precious metals.

In North America, Goldschlager is frequently mixed in equal proportion with Jägermeister to make a cocktail called Liquid Cocaine, Golden Elk or JägerSchläger.

Goldschläger was recently parodied in the film Superbad, in which one of the main characters must purchase an alcoholic beverage containing gold flakes known as "Goldslick Vodka." It was also seen in the movie Beerfest as the drink that gets a character drunk after massive amounts of beer fail to do so.
