Talk:Goldschläger
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I have removed the text "The actual gold content of .75 ml of Goldschlager is less than .1 gram, which amounts to about $1.38 on the international gold market." because it is nonsensical. If it were true, then a standard 750 mL bottle would contain 100 g of gold and cost $1380.00. If anyone knows the real numbers, feel free to insert a corrected sentence.

- They definately meant .75L, not .75ml, which is what a 750ml is....
- On that note (sorta) does anyone know if they sell 375ml botles of Goldschlaeger?
The price of gold has changed dramatically recently. I think the proper price is a bit above $2 now for the gold in the (wonderful) Goldschlager. Thoughts? (-Manfrin) 67.188.165.153 04:12, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Poor Syntax
I changed "While that has not been verified, Goldschläger was, a few years after its introduction, reformulated to contain less gold, possibly due to some individuals suffering allergic reactions."
It now reads "A few years after its introduction, Goldschläger was reformulated to contain less gold due to some alleged accounts of individuals suffering allergic reactions." The previous version was difficult to understand and divided the sentence in unnecessary places. I attempted to preserve the intent of the sentence.
Some suggestions
The (43.5%) is just sitting after the word shnapps. Nothing about the fact that it is a shnapps indicates that it should be 87 proof. This fact should have a place. Furthermore, the drink is a product of Italy. Is it appropriate to call it "Swiss?".
[edit] Mixed Drink Recipes
I deleted the section Beverages, in which the anon added a recipe for a fixed drink containing this liquor. It might be appropriate for an article by itself, or as a recipe in another wiki, but this article does not benefit from adding this nonencyclopedic content. Jerry lavoie 00:06, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
- I think that if I weren't an anon, my contribution of a real recipe to this page wouldn't have been deleted. (Pages for other liqueurs such as amaretto contain beverage recipes and there is no general page for cinnamon schnapps in which the recipe could otherwise have been added.)

[edit] "Gold fever"
Does anyone know where this came from? My (admittedly quick) research leads me to believe the person who added it just thought "gold+illness=gold fever", but "gold fever" generally refers to gold rushes. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by CKnapp (talk • contribs) 04:07, 26 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Alcohol content
I have 2 bottles of it that are 53.5% alcohol or 107 proof. It is extremely potent:p I do not know when it changed to 43.5% or 87 proof. I purchased these bottles in the 1990's. 66.68.28.10 02:22, 9 April 2007 (UTC) Larry Stephenson
