The Golden Cadillac is a famous after dinner cocktail that was invented in 1952 at Poor Red’s Saloon in El Dorado, California. The bar was in a gold rush town and the cocktail was created for a newly engaged couple that came into the bar and wanted a special drink made for them to celebrate their engagement. Having just bought a new golden coloured Cadillac it was decided that the car would be the name for the concoction. The cocktail is as sweet as their newly declared love. It’s smooth and delicious with a sweet, creamy taste of chocolate and vanilla.
