Honey or petroleum
Liquid gold refers to any valuable liquid substance, especially oil or honey.
The phrase emphasizes worth through comparison to precious metal: Texas tea, liquid gold—oil made fortunes overnight.
It also describes anything unusually prized: After a long hike, cold water is liquid gold.
In cosmetics and décor, liquid gold is metallic gold-colored paint or solution applied in fluid form.
