Moose Milk and Other Regimental Drinks
« on: December 20, 2001, 12:48:00 »
It seems that every Regiment, unit and Mess has their own special holiday drink or variation. Let's see some of the recipes we use to help 'enhance that Christmas spirit'. ;)

To get things started, here is Army.ca's "official" Moose Milk recipe:

40oz Lamb's Dark Rum
20oz Kahlua
20oz Vodka (Crystal Skull preferred)
20oz Disaronno
4L Egg Nog
4L creamy vanilla ice cream

Sprinkle with nutmeg and cinnamon once it's mixed. Serves a small crowd (6-10) and is very tasty!


Cheers
Mike

I can tell you a funny story about Moose Milk. One New Years day someone got the idea to get a large block of ice that had a cavity in it. Then the Moose Milk was poured in to the cavity. A short while later a hole developed in the block of ice and the contents poured down over the floor. It seems a plastic liner was supposed to be put in the cavity before the Moose milk was poured in. Oh well you live and learn it was done properly the following year.

ha-ha!
Then again, there were the years when "The Roo" (the late Maj Andrew Roberts) used to preside over the Athol Brose/Moose Milk in the Officers‘ Mess of the 48th Highlanders ... resplendent with a cigar, from which he periodically tapped ashes into the punch bowl ... (thereby adding some more fibre to the mix ... already augmented by ... pablum!)

It was always so funny to watch guest‘s faces turn pale when they‘d get to the bottom of their glass and found sediment ... tee-hee ...

Here‘s a modern mixture perfected in the officers‘ quarters at CFB Downsview, but originally discovered by my best man in a bar in Ottawa (they called it something like a "Blue Friday"):

"Windex" (later named "Prop Wash" by a rigged vote in the mess, damn those Air Force rotters ... !)
- one part vodka
- one part white rum
- two parts Parfait D‘amour (a blue-coloured licquer by Marie Brizzard)
- dilute with Seven Up to suit your taste ... while your taste buds are still functioning ... (we found 7Up was better than Sprite)
- makes a delightful, uniquely-coloured drink that will lift floor tiles (yup - I wouldn‘t make that one up) and will leave a mildly radioactive glow on your glassware (which we discovered at our wedding reception ... )
- we‘d serve it to unsuspecting guests, and when they‘d ask about the blue colour we‘d explain that we‘d used Melita coffee filters and Windex ... whereupon their faces would turn a shade of blue to match the drink!

Enjoy, but for Cripes sakes don‘t even think of driving after drinking Windex - I can remember seeing people having trouble going home on their hands and knees!!!!!
Junior officers and NCOs who neglect to guide the thinking of their men are shirking a command responsibility.
-Feb 1955 Cbt Forces Journal
Those who appreciate true valour should in their daily intercourse set gentleness first and aim to win the love and esteem of others. If you affect valour and act with violence, the world will in the end detest you and look upon you as wild beasts. Of this you should take heed.

        As the holiday season approaches I am looking for some good punch recipes. I partially remember a punch called "Rocket Fuel" from my youth. It was made entirely in a coleman cooler. The recipe was a 26oz white rum, 26oz vodka, 26oz cherry brandy, 26oz alcool, I believe there was grenadine but I can't remember amount. We then added equal parts pineapple and orange juice and sprite until cooler was almost full then added orange, lemon and lime slices.
      It bugs me that I can't remember the full recipe because it was very good and definitely knocks you on your butt. If anyone remembers the entire recipe or has a better punch recipe let me know.
     Cheers!  :cheers:

Artillery Punch

1 qt strong black tea
1 qt rye whiskey
1 bottle red wine
1 pint Jamaican dark rum
1/2 pint brandy
1 jigger benedictine herbal liqueur
1 pint orange juice
1/2 pint lemon juice





Combine all the ingredients in a large punch bowl with a block of ice. If found too dry, sugar syrup may be added. Decorate with twists of lemon peel.

Lots of different recipes out there for Moosemilk, but here is the one we always made at my unit:

40oz Lambs Dark Rum
40oz Kahlua
40oz Vodka
4L Vanilla Ice Cream (the good creamy expensive kind)
4L eggnog

Mix all together, breaking up the ice cream a bit.  Sprinkle nutmeg on top if you so desire.  Stir occasionally as the ice cream starts to melt.  Enjoy!
So I'll raise a glass, not the first nor last, Come join me in this toast...Because the old black rum's got a hold on me ~ Great Big Sea

Ok guys time to think.
This my not be the right place to post this but hey happy holidays.
From earliest days in the corp I was introduced to Moose Milk so...
I'm a lot older now and have forgotten how good it was. :P
I am asking for a summary of the best batch you have ever tasted and what was the process and ingredients.
A good story to go with it may be appropriate as well.
What do you think George.?

I was first introduced to it at New Years though.  1 Jan '92 to be exact, at the first levee I was ever at.  It was after an all-nighter (introduced to my first New Year's Eve party as a sailor), and first thing in the morning the PMC pulled out the ingredients to start on the moosemilk.  The tradition was to start the levee in the JR's mess with a breakfast of bagels and stuff, washed down with moosemilk.

I helped make it every year after that, and introduced newbies to the tradition of moosemilk and levees.

Good idea.....and I do seem to remember some good Moose Milk over the years......but which one was the best is going to be the hard one........Ummmmm!........just saw a recipe for it here last week or so........








So while I am searching, all the people who have it "Stickied" have posted their favourites........but still not the one I remember with 1.14 lt of Dark Rum, 1.14 lt of Kahlua, 1.14 lt of vodka and 4 lt of milk, 4 lt of vanilla ice cream..........where did that one disappear to?

Ok for the ease of the post Army,Navy,Airforce..Lambs,Bacardi or Jamaican black strap..It don't matter after the first dozen glasses and we are all the same at that point.
The thought of it for me today was to mix a batch and when the need comes around I will stand with glass in hand and toast you all  :salute: for there are those that were like us and those who want to be like us and those that cannot be like us. I will reflect on what is and what was then be content enough to envision what will be.

OK

My head hurts.  Moose Milk mixed with Sweets for Dessert after Wine and a meal has a negative affect on the brain.  However, for those who want some for their New Years Party or Levee, here is one recipe:

1.14 lt of Dark Rum
1.14 lt of Kahlua
1.14 lt of Vodka
4 lt of vanilla soft scoop ice cream
4 lt of partly skimmed milk

Mix gently until frothy, leaving a few ice cream chunks. 
Liberally sprinkle with Nutmeg on top.


Of course, if you are missing some ingredients, feel free to make a 'reasonable' substitution. 

I replaced the Dark Rum with Capt Morgan's Spiced Rum and the Vanilla Ice cream with Cafe-Latte Gelato.

I guess Tia Maria can be substituted for Kahlua.......but I insisted on getting Kahlua so as to stock the bar..... ;D

Head still hurts.

Can't speak for the ingredients of Moose Milk but I know it caused many a soldier( all ranks ) to leave their stomach contents in the van I volunteered to drive for the New Years parties at the different Messes in Lahr. The hourly cleanup were a pain but the Germain Marks were flowing.(tips)

Granted I'm not in the service, or any service for that matter ( one day I will ) but I thought I would add one that my friends and family tend to make, and regret, every once in a while. We call her "BOAT GAS"

What you need.

- 1 very big pale, or small garbage can ( clean ), or crock pot - and a ladle
- depending on the size of bucket used, buy about 4-5 frozen McCain's fruit punch mix - throw it in
- buy lemons, and limes, and strawberries etc and cut up and put in the bucket
- add about 1 bottle vodka, 1 bottle white rum, 2 bottles tequila ( basically whatever you want ) ( bottle generally 40 pounder)
- Stir up until the boat gas eats away at your ladle
- serve to a friend first and watch for negative effects. Usually let the "lab rat" sit for 5 minutes. If all checks out, go nuts. Enjoy the evening.

The fruit adds flavour, but also when all the booze is gone you can eat the alcoholic fruit, that way when your wife/girlfriend asks you if you actually ate anything healthy at the party ( or does that just happen to me? ) you can say "yes dear, i had fruit"

PS - best to keep the wife away from the girlfriend at parties as well.  ;D

Both the Warrant Officers' and Sergeants' Mess and the Officers' Mess of The Lincoln and Welland Regiment serve versions of "Bull’s Milk" or Moose Milk on New Year's Day. There are at least two recipes:--

Hot version. Heat slowly until warm:
• 80 oz Dark Rum
• 40 oz Brandy
• 40 oz Rye Whisky
• 12 qt Egg Nog

Cold version. May be kept cold by adding a block of ice after mixing:
• 120 oz White Rum
• 26 oz Brandy
• 26 oz Kahlua
• 3 or 4 gal Ice Cream (Chocolate, Vanilla or Neapolitan)
• 2 or 3 gal Milk or Egg Nog
• 1 qt Whipping Cream
• dash Vanilla Extract
• dash Nutmeg

Well, D9er and I are home tonight. Earlier, I mentioned the recipes for moose milk, and she said "Mmmmmm".  :)

Later, she suggested we make a "mini-batch" for our New Year's Eve in. We did just that, and it's going down a lot smoother than it should  ;D

I hope I'm not sick tomorrow - first day of javelina season, and I need to be up early. Nothing like gutting a stink-pig with a bellyful of rum and curdled cream, topped off with pounding headaches  >:D

Hmmm..... mixing your booze?   such a novel approach :)

Scotch - straight up - glass of water on the side
Vodka - iced, straight up
Dark Rhum - straignt up or mixed.

Chimo!

We used to have an interesting concoction at the Jr Ranks mess in 33 SVC BN in Halifax.  Not sure if they still  (try) to serve it.  TN2IC, back me up on that one, will ya?

How to make Deisel Fuel:

1 oz of ALL bottles on the bar in a bar pitcher. Place in draft glass (or smaller if you're too scared to try) Drink 'til she's gone.
Don't remember too much after three glasses. 

Happy New Year, Please Don't Drink and Drive.

In one place in which I had the great pleasure to serve for a while the house drink for special and not so special occasions was Black Velvet - equal parts Guinness and champagne!

Just thinking about it brings back fond memories.
It is ill that men should kill one another in seditions, tumults and wars; but it is worse to bring nations to such misery, weakness and baseness as to have neither strength nor courage to contend for anything; to have nothing left worth defending and to give the name of peace to desolation.

Served by the Officer's Mess of the Seaforth Highlanders of Canada:
 ATHEL BROSE (loosely translated "nectar of the gods"


1 lb honey 2 1/2 c steel cut oats (NOT rolled)
2 c. water
1/2 gallon scotch

Mix all ingredients( but scotch), warm gently on low heat only until blended. Remove from heat, let cool and stir in scotch. Allow mixture to soak overnight w/ secure cover. Strain oat mixture from liquid and discard (or use for bread). Place liquid in glass jar and swirl (or roll) daily for 2-4 weeks.Several months if you can stand it ! Try not to open the container as you go to keep contaminants out.
The longer you wait the smoother it gets! Strain one last time and serve to all!

My moose milk always has both white and dark rum along with the kalhua and vodka.  Breyers vanilla ice cream and homogonized milk round it out nicely.  Nutmeg AND cinnamon are a must

Was once at a Christmas party where the moose milk had eggs mixed into it.  It didn't sit too well.  Blahh!

Also heard about a recipe that also included Bailey's, but that just seems too weird.
Don't piss me off.  I have two older brothers, work with a bunch of men, and I can kick their asses!

I have yet to join, swear in on the 11th of the new year. But in conversation leading up to the holidays I was told about a drink mix/tradition of barracks box punch.

Pour all drinks brought to the function in a clean barracks box.
Stir.
Serve while standing in the barracks box.

Any basis in reality to this at all or was this a pure wind up?

     No truckers seem to remember the ubitiquious "Transfer Case":

     - 1 oz Grand Marnier
     - 1 oz Tia Maria
     - 1oz  Amaretto

     Pour into a suitable large shot glass.  This mess mixes into a dark mucky sludge that resembles something from your Ford truck's... Used to be a welcome for MSE Ops that got their cap badge.

In our Mess, if you mention the name of a particular past Major\ Acting CO of our Regiment, who has since been 'replaced', (fired would be impolite), you have to buy a round of 'Boils' for everyone present.

As in a 'boil on our ***'.

You may call him the Boil, in the Mess, but not use his surname.

The drink is equal parts Tequila Rose and Baileys, typically two ounces.

The toast is "To the Boil", then you spit, then you drink.

Even people that seldom partake of alcohol, seldom turn down the opportunity to curse his existence.

If it isn't already stickied, could a mod/whoever please do so?  I've pointed this page to my RAAF friends who've been pestering me for Moose Milk recipes.

Our Regimental Drink is Scotch either on the rocks or with water (no soda allowed) Since standing back up it is Glen Breton. 15 or so years ago before there even looked like a hope that the Regiment would be reinstated, the members of the Association bought one of the first bottles of Glen Breton Rare and placed it above the Bar in the Garrison Officers Mess. It was dubbed "the Survivors Bottle" the last 3 members of the Association would get to drink it.

In the JR's mess at 4 RCR, T Coy Stratford they had an interesting drink.
Called the Helmet.
A old helmet with handles on it which was filled with just about anything & everything behind the bar. Passed around until finished.

We used to have that but a giant bowl. It was banned as it violates the liquor laws in that passing it around apparently promoted uncontrolled drinking or drinking where the bartender could not monitor who was drinking how much alcohol.

In Stratford it was considered a honour for anyone but a JR member to be invited to partake.

Well, D9er and I are home tonight. Earlier, I mentioned the recipes for moose milk, and she said "Mmmmmm".  :)

Later, she suggested we make a "mini-batch" for our New Year's Eve in. We did just that, and it's going down a lot smoother than it should  ;D

I hope I'm not sick tomorrow - first day of javelina season, and I need to be up early. Nothing like gutting a stink-pig with a bellyful of rum and curdled cream, topped off with pounding headaches  >:D
Could you provide a recipe for your mini batch please?  As much as I love the industrial quantities served on ship a smaller more sane batch would fit nicely at home.

Oh, we can...  But my wife would not appreciate it if I Bogarted a full size batch myself.  She would hate the screeching monkey show... and I'd hear about it for the next decade at least.   :nod:
