Carnaval - Bar du Glace

We have noticed that several bars in Montreal have outdoor ice bars. While we haven't visited one here, we did get to visit one at carnaval. We decided to sample a local drink - Carabou. Here's the recipe from the Carnaval website:

"Caribou, a feisty alcoholic beverage, became popular in the early Carnivals. The recipe comes from Ti-Père, a business that was first established on Ste-Thérèse Street in the lower city, then, more recently, in Old Québec. Suffice it to say a typical caribou contains brandy, vodka, sherry and port... Wow!"


At this particular ice bar, the Caribou was poured into a glass made of ice.


After finishing the Carabou, we stacked our empty ice glass with all of the other empty ice glasses on the ice bar.
