In Buying Alcohol, Harvard Is Frugal

Students Have One Standard: It's Cheap

Savenor, a former liquor store owner, says vodks is also popular among students, but something called Goldschlager is gaining notoriety.

What's Goldschlager? "I don't know what the hell it is," Savenor says. Some research reveals that Goldschlager is made of cinnamon schnapps with little pieces of a gold-colored substance floating in the mixture.

In addition, students say the scorpion bowls served at the Hong Kong Bar and Restaurant and at Chef Chow's remain undergraduate staples.

A scorpion bowl has "ten shots of different types of alcohol mixed with juice," according to Msureen Williams, a bartender at the Kong.

But the scorpion bowl is just for nights out. Eng Tan '95, a Mather House resident who says he does some bartending, says most students always stick to the basics.
