If you've ever been to Festival du Voyageur in Winnipeg or Carnaval de Quebec, chances are that you've sipped on the famous drink, Caribou. This comforting mulled wine is an ode to the famous French-Canadian cocktail that uses brandy and craft tonic syrup for pleasantly aromatic and appropriately boozy ('tis the season!) results.
Make this at your upcoming holiday parties or dinners and you'll have the happiest guests.
