The Golden Cadillac was born in the early 1950s at Poor Red’s Bar in El Dorado, California. Legend has it that a newly engaged couple asked the bartender to create a unique drink to celebrate their upcoming wedding—and their fancy new gold Cadillac. The bartender combined Galliano (an Italian herbal liqueur), white crème de cacao, and cream, resulting in a cocktail that quickly became a local (and eventually international) sensation. Its name and color pay homage to classic luxury, making it a staple of mid-century cocktail menus and a nostalgic favorite today.
