Mary Pickford Cocktail

Submitted by momaphet

"This cocktail was developed for Mary Pickford at the Hotel Nacional de Cuba while she was visiting Cuba in the 1920’s with her friend Charlie Chaplin. This is a simple cocktail so it's best to use a good quality rum, and fresh pineapple juice if you can get it. Skip those cheap neon red cherries and splurge on a jar of Luxardo maraschino cherries or a similar brand, it will really make a difference in your cocktails."

What a lovely cocktail Momaphet. I really enjoyed this tasty treat. It was quick and easy to make; it tasted strong but was good. Thanks for sharing, so happy that I tried this drink. Made for Seaside Brasserie.

Mary liked her cocktails potent, didn't she?! This was fabulous! If a cocktail is going to be sweet, then at least make it taste like a cocktail, and this one does. We loved this one. And it is very pretty, as well. Thank you momaphet, this one will be served again! SWT 2019 - Sue Chefs
