Time for full disclosure.
Sometimes -- sometimes -- we actually think that wine is not the best drink option.
(Shocking. We know. But hear us out.)
Sometimes the best drink depends on the time of day, like espresso at 4 p.m. or kombucha tea at 7 in the morning.
Sometimes it depends on the occasion, like the launch of a new line of rum or the neighbor kid's summertime lemonade stand.
And sometimes the best drink depends on who's pouring, like the folks behind the bar at Franklin Southie especially when they're matched up with the folks behind DrinkBoston.com.
On two nights this month and next month, they'll be making your non-wine drink very well worth drinking.
Tomorrow night, for starters, they're toasting Rio's Carnivale festival by pouring Leblon Cachaça -- with $5 caipirinha shots, $6 mixed drinks, $5 bar snacks after 9 p.m., and free giveaways starting at 8 p.m.
Take your pick. Then settle in for one very satisfying wine-free night.
