24ct Golden Geisha
Some places make a drink called a Golden Geisha… It doesn’t have real gold.
Mine does.
The idea for this drink has been floating in my head for a little while, like little specks of gold, ever since I spotted another drink on a nerd blog involving Gold Schlager.
Kizakura Sakè (pictured) is pretty much the only brand of kinpaku sakè available in Australia without special order
It got me thinking about a few things. The first thing that came to mind was actually the Dwarves of Discworld, and the way that they like to sing songs about it. Unfortunately, these songs tend to only have one lyric, but it’s really more about the meter, timing and emotion behind it than the actual meaning of the word(s).
Everyone likes gold, and everyone likes getting drunk, but alcoholic cinnamon and artificial banana flavouring are not the best taste combination (that said, a fine dusting of real cinnamon on freshly chilled bananas is quite pleasing). So I got rid of the banana, threw in a bit of chilled sakè and tossed in some more booze for good measure.
Not only is this drink rather dangerous to consume in quantity, it will also help cure your arthritis.
Glass: Tumbler
Ingredients:
- 30ml Goldschlager
- 30ml Gold Wasser
- 30ml Kinpaku Sakè (Japanese sakè with gold flakes in it)
Method: Build & stir over ice.
Garnish: None, other than what’s already in the bottles. Both of these drinks actually contain genuine gold flakes. As in Aurum. The element Au. Food additive E175. Seriously, if drinking real gold doesn’t impress you, I don’t think any fucking drink garnish will.
