The Caribou cocktail is a rich, warming drink that originated in Canada, particularly associated with Quebec’s winter festivals. This delightful mix of red wine and spirits is a perfect companion for chilly evenings. Traditionally enjoyed during the province’s Carnaval, it offers a robust and slightly sweet flavor with a warming kick.
