Gold Strike 50 cl

Gold Strike is a cinnamon liqueur containing gold snippets, produced by Lucas Bols. The company suggests it should be drunk as a shot, with the motto "Shake, Shoot and Strike". It's a clear liquid that tastes like cinnamon candy. Though the company website states the gold flakes are "24-carat", some bottles indicate that the gold has various other levels of purity, such as 22 K or 23.5 K. The gold flakes present little health risk. A common rumor about Gold Strike is that the gold flakes cut the throat or stomach upon ingestion, allowing the alcohol to directly enter the bloodstream for quicker intoxication.
