Mother's Milk
A creamy and decadent shooter that blends the spicy warmth of cinnamon with the rich sweetness of butterscotch. This smooth concoction is finished with fresh milk and the signature gold flakes of Goldschläger, creating a dessert-like experience in a glass.
What it tastes like
The drink leads with a strong aroma of cinnamon and artificial butterscotch. On the palate, the creaminess of the milk softens the sharp spice of the cinnamon liqueur and the high sugar content of the schnapps. The mouthfeel is cold and slightly viscous, ending with a lingering warmth from the cinnamon and a coating of caramel-like sweetness.
