"I found Minneapolis’s new nonalcoholic bottle shop Marigold to be a one-stop shop for sophisticated booze-free beverages: owner Erin Flavin, who quit drinking during the pandemic and describes herself as a one-time wine lover and “product nerd,” hunted down elixirs, mixers, sparkling botanicals and nonalcoholic wines to stock the store. The drinks here transcend sugary mocktails by leveraging herbal pairings, painstaking fermentation processes, and tart fruit juices, and the elegant packaging adds to the grown-up feel. Shopping at Marigold feels like an event—every bit as festive as popping into your favorite wine shop on a snowy evening—and Flavin, along with Marigold manager Lara Valente, highlights curated picks and food pairings for holiday sipping." - Justine Jones
