An original riff of the classic Stone Fence.
I pondered this recipe a will ago missing how pear π could replace apple π in various cocktails. The Stone Fence popped into my head as a long drink for cooler weather.
The lead is all pear π both in aroma and palate. The rye spices, oak, vanilla bean, old leather, follows giving the pear a flavour akin to ripen orchard fruit peel with brown sugar. The extra spices from the bitters rounds everything with a subtle smokiness . π
The classic Stone Fence uses apple cider (the alcoholic apple juice π), locally there are pear ciders which would be a great sub and my next foray.
So give pear a chance in your fall drinks.
