One of the loveliest ways to celebrate cocktail hour in Muskoka, is overlooking an azure blue lake while sitting on the dock as the sun is beginning to set, just as a gentle breeze skips across the water. The distant sound of a loon or a passing family of ducks makes it even more magical.
One 'quack' from Mom and the chicks get in formation!
This recipe for a Muskoka Berry Cosmo is one of my friends Chris's favourite cocktails, especially when it's garnished with two or three of Brookland Farm's sweet Ontario strawberries, and a lump or two of ice.
