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 term was first recorded used to describe the cocktail in the 1915–1920.[3]

Culture[]

The Royal Canadian Navy, Royal Canadian Air Force, and Canadian Army all claim as the originator of the drink.[1][2][4]

Events or parties held in the Royal Canadian Navy serving Moose Milk, are known as "Moosers".[5] The Navy also serves the drink on-board on Sundays while the ships are in port, the phrase "moose is loose" is used to refer to the presence of the drink at various locations (e.g. " The moose is loose in the main cafeteria").[6]
