If you aren’t an alcohol drinker or cocktail lover, feel free to share a loose equivalent: microbrewery recommendations, obscure grape variants, virgin cocktails, cupcake recipes, or favourite treats of other kinds all welcome.

This is also an open thread for general discussion on any topic, as long as it’s within the comment policy.
