Save these recipes - they’re straight from The Boathouse at Taboo. 

This week's Host & Toast takes us lakeside to The Boathouse at Taboo on Lake Muskoka, where two of their summer favourites are giving us another reason to linger a little longer by the water.

Both are bright, refreshing, and built for an afternoon that stretches into evening. Both are easy to recreate at home. And both, we'd argue, taste better with a lake in front of you.

Ingredients

  • ½ oz vodka

  • ½ oz peach schnapps
