About this drink
The Golden Cadillac was created in 1952 by bartender Frank Klein at Poor Red's in El Dorado, California, for a newly engaged couple who had just bought a gold-coloured Cadillac. It soon became an icon of post-war Californian glamour and lives on as a sweet, creamy tribute to that era.
