Canadian Caribou
The Canadian Caribou
an original cocktail By Chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
For this cocktail we need a Canadian Whisky with a strong Rye profile. Here are several which work fine, Gibson’s Finest, Alberta Premium, Highwood Centenial, and Black Velvet Deluxe Canadian Whisky.
As we are using a rye profiled whisky, I chose to mix with Canada Dry Ginger ale. The use of real ginger in the manufacture of this soda adds a taste component that compliments rye in a most beautiful way.
Finally the foil ingredient for this recipe is a remarkable Canadian Liqueur, Yukon Jack. This is a honey based whisky liqueur which adds just the right amount of sweetness and elegance to the taste. I love this cocktail, and I hope you do too.
