Holiday Mocktails

These family- (and liver-!) friendly fun drinks borrowed from Woman’s Day will be a hit this holiday season.

Crimson Christmas Punch
With raspberry sherbet, ginger ale, and three types of juice, you’ll almost mistake this sweet treat for dessert.

Cranberry Fizz
The holidays can be hectic, which is why we love this easy-to-make mocktail. All you need is ginger ale, cranapple juice, cinnamon sugar, and a lemon or lime.

Raspberry Bubbly
This mocktail gets its bubbles from sparkling white grape juice, while frozen raspberries add to its aesthetic and fruity flavor.

Rosemary Citrus Spritzer
In-season oranges give this refreshing drink a hint of tartness. It’s also easy to make before a holiday party, with the recipe yielding 10-12 servings.

Words of Appreciation

“Thank you for the memorable sales and closing experience of finding the cottage of our dreams. A perfect fit for our needs.”

I & E – Lake Muskoka cottage buyers

“Jim and Iris Gardiner were both amazing to deal with. A truly professional team. They shared a great deal of knowledge with us and really shed important light regarding potential Island Cottage ownership – all the pros and cons. Not only did they sell our existing cottage in 24 hours for much higher than our asking price they helped us find our new slice of paradise on Lake Muskoka in a very tight market. We are thrilled with our new cottage and love being on Eilean Gowan Island! We would highly recommend either Jim or Iris for any of your Real Estate needs!”

J & D – Sold on Echo Lake and bought on Lake Muskoka

Jim did me a favor 20 years ago and I wanted to return the favor – I approached him and Iris at the cottage show and, even though I already had a real estate agent, he recommended a cottage property that I purchased and enjoyed for those 20 years. I therefore, tracked him down and had him be our agent in selling that property. Our priority was to find new owners that would be friendly and fit in well with the neighbors and Jim and Iris found the perfect couple Jim and Iris made the entire sale most enjoyable. The experience was so smooth and enjoyable that the sellers, the buyers and the real estate agents all got together for supper the following summer at our old cottage!

It is with great pleasure and appreciation for me to recommend the services of Jim Gardiner and the entire Gardiner Team. Jim’s awareness of community by-laws and market related activities extracted incremental value for us when we were finalizing the purchasing agreement.
