Danziger Goldwasser (German: Gold water of Danzig), in Polish: Gdanska wodka (vodka of Gdansk), with Goldwasser as the registered tradename, is a strong (35% ABV) root and herbal liqueur which has been produced since at least 1598 in Danzig (Gdansk). The most prominent characteristic of this alcoholic beverage is small flakes of 22 or 23 karat gold suspended in it. Alcoholic solutions were used by artists for Gilding, which is believed to be the inspiration for the drink. Alchemy, which was at its high point in the 16th century when Goldwasser appeared, held gold to have many desirable medical properties. Since the flakes are extremely small and thin, the price is not prohibitive. When used as food additive, Gold is labelled as E175. The drink was invented by a Dutchman from De Lier, Ambrosius Vermollen, who became a citizen of Danzig on 6 July 1598. Production moved in 1704 to new premises located in the Breitgasse. At that time it was common for houses to use animal symbols instead of numbers, and the new factory featured a salmon (German: Lachs) on the facade; hence the naming of the brand "Der Lachs zu Danzig".
