“The drink is a sum of parts folding across late summer and autumn,” says Maybe Mae bar manager and the creator of this drink, Nick Corletto. “Grapes harvested late season for pisco production, William pears going through their peak in autumn as well as quinces; the orchard fruits lining up will with crisp and mellow acidity and poise. This drink is more of a narrative of provenance and seasonality, and showcasing the elegance of that wedge of the season.”
