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!

Not mixing per se - we're sticking with the moose milk  ;)

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.

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:
