Moose Milk (cocktail)
Moose Milk is a traditional Canadian alcoholic mixed drink with roots in the historic celebratory events of the Canadian Armed Forces. It is also served at the Levée, a New Year's Day celebration held all levels of the Canadian governmental administrations to honour the member of the armed forces, from the federal level to municipalities.[1][2]
The Canadian Navy, Royal Canadian Air Force, and Canadian Army all claim as the originator of the drink.[1][2][3] Events or parties held in the Canadian Navy serving Moose Milk, are known as "Moosers".[4]
Components
Moose milk is composed of five different classes of ingredients:[5][6][7]
- Hard liquor: typically a combination of Canadian whisky, vodka, or dark rum
- Coffee beverage: Kahlúa and occasionally prepared coffee
- Dairy: a combination of whole milk, cream, condensed milk, egg nog, or vanilla ice cream
- Sweetener: maple syrup or sugar
- Spice: nutmeg and occasionally cinnamon
Egg yolks are sometimes used directly or indirectly through egg nog or ice cream to prevent separation of the drink.[7]
