HISTORY

Opinion differ about Wiltherer Goldkrone. Some mix cocktails with it, others would rather use it as a brush cleaner. It is best if you find out for yourself if the drink suits you and how it is used.

Goldkrone is a brandy blend consisting of brandy distillate and an addition of agricultural alcohol and colored with caramel. Wilthener Goldkrone contains 28 % alcohol by volume and is drunk both in pure and mixed drinks. In the vernacular, the Wilthener Goldkrone is simply referred to as “Goldie” due to its brownish color.

According to company information from the year 2003 Wilthener Goldkrone should have been the best-selling spirits in Germany at that time.

Goldkrone has been produced in the GDR since the 1970s. The production took place at that time in different GDR enterprises.

Best Cocktail Recipe with Wilthener Goldkrone

Our top cocktail with Wilthener Goldkrone is the Balalaika. The Balalaika is a fruity-sparkling cocktail from the GDR with three simple ingredients that everyone should have at home. In addition to Wilthener Goldkrone, orange juice and curaçao white are still needed.

Some cocktails need a sugar rim. But how do you actually do it? Here is my tip: There are various methods for moistening the glass rim. One of the best known is to cut a piece of lime or lemon. This is then placed with the notch on the edge of the glass and drawn along it in a circle in order to moisten it sufficiently with juice from inside and outside. Then the glass is turned over, put in the prepared sugar and turned a few times – done! As an alternative to fresh citrus juice, some bartenders use the popular Rose’s Lime Juice, which is otherwise used for gimlets and other cocktails, for example, and is therefore always in stock in many bars. Its sugar content makes for attractive sugar edges.

Invented in 1928 in Philadelphia, USA by Walter E Diemer at the Fleer Chewing Gum Company, bubble gum was created from a less sticky gum which stretched easily. The gum, which they called Dubble Bubble, was pink and such was its popularity that initial samples sold out in a single day.
