Description:
The Mary Pickford is named after silent-film star Mary Pickford. The cocktail is associated with Cuba in the 1920s, when Havana was an important center of American bar culture during Prohibition. It is a fruity rum cocktail with a pineapple profile and a light cherry-pomegranate sweetness. It is bright and approachable, but a good version should stay fresh rather than syrupy.
