Barbados rum, ginger beer, and home grown lime juice.
My wife was on a winery tour with a few other ladies and brought these (and a few others) home… all made with WI grown grapes. 
the Nouveau Rouge is very nice. We will tackle the Marquette tomorrow.

That combination sounds wonderful! But wait a minute....now it's limes? You also have limes? Sigh.......

Nice! You lucky guy!
About every other year I make Moroccan preserved lemons. Sliced Meyers, lacto fermented. The skin becomes edible. Great condiment!
Maybe I need a winter home.Dave ... FL is calling you ... leave OH ...
Years ago I had a boss who was from FL. He would tell us about having his entire house covered by a tent for fumigation. Oh jeeze.....
My parents had a winter home in Palatka, west of St. Augustine. They liked not dealing with winter until they got old enough that the drive got to them. They had enough friends and family in NY that they didn't make a permanent move.
Moving south has issues -- in addition to heat (and possibly humidity), insects and spiders. I hated spiders and was deathly afraid of them. Walking in the crawl space where it was likely there were black widows cured me, eventually. Now I merely detest them, although I'm ok with the flat ones.
Moving any distance exchanges one set of issues for another. Do your research and visit during each season to ensure it's ok. My in-laws have wintered in North Myrtle Beach since my f-in-l retired. There are many options.

the skin is edible even without fermentation. Just sour. Good for digestion I’m told.

Yup summer is brutal, bugs and lizards are not all that bad. It’s almost bearable if you have a pool to go in every day (yes Dave I’ve got one of those) and of course you HAVE to have a machete and mow your lawn every 4 days in the rainy season.
i put my stalk of bananas in the pool after I cut them to sanitize and drown spiders.

We’ve got lots of different varieties of spiders. picture Bubba talking to Forrest Gump as I recite the spiders….
“we have Black Widow spiders and Brown Widow spiders, Crab Spiders, Banana Spiders, Wolf spiders (they jump), Brown Recluse spiders, daddy long leg spiders, etc etc”
my favorite is the crab spider. They eat other spiders.

My tomato plants were 6 ft tall this winter…
Raleigh has most of the spiders you mentioned. Didn't know crab spiders eat other spiders, good to know. I sometimes hunt them with an Airsoft pistol, but will leave 'em alone if the web isn't in a walkway.
Crab spiders build long webs -- had 'em build narrow webs from 20' up in a tree to the ground. In the fall I learned to walk around the yard with a stick to eliminate their webs -- I HATE driving through them!!
They are also quick builders -- one time I went out to get the newspaper (back when there were newspapers), and went out again an hour later -- walked right through a web one had built across our porch.
NICE!
I read about string and tomato clips for growing. Last year I tried with a couple as a test. 8 ft tall, increased yield, easier to take care of. I'll do more this year.
