Created in Havana in the 1920s, when Americans crossed to Cuba to drink legally, and named after Mary Pickford, the silent film star known as 'America's Sweetheart'.

Missing something?

  • No White Rum? Use Gold Rum (A little richer)
  • No White Rum? Use Cachaça (Grassier and funkier)
  • No Pineapple Juice? Use Pineapple (Blend fresh pineapple and strain it; it foams just as well)
  • No Grenadine? Use Raspberry Syrup (Berry instead of pomegranate)
  • No Maraschino Liqueur? Use Kirsch (Dry cherry spirit; add a little simple syrup)
