Nonconformist publican's gift? (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
free spirit
This could be a double definition.
'nonconformist' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'publican's gift?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
(Other definitions for free spirit that I've seen before include "Individualist" , "most generous happy-hour offer?" , "Irresponsible type" , "supplying endless drinks on the house" , "One not bound by conventional beliefs" .)
