The Canadian military has a long history of serving a beverage known as "Moosemilk" annually on New Years Day at a function hosted by the Junior Ranks Mess, Senior NCO's Mess and the Officers Mess. Each mess basically hosts an open house or invites guests by special invitation to the "New Years Levee".
