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.
The Royal Canadian Navy, Royal Canadian Air Force, and Canadian Army all claim as the originator of the drink. Events or parties held in the Royal Canadian Navy serving Moose Milk, are known as "Moosers".
