IBA Classic

The Mary Pickford is an IBA Unforgettable cocktail combining light rum, pineapple juice, maraschino liqueur, and grenadine, shaken and strained into a chilled cocktail glass with a cherry garnish. Named for the legendary silent film actress and co-founder of United Artists, it is a sweet, tropical, beautifully blush-pink pre-Prohibition classic. Its fruit-forward elegance made it a symbol of Hollywood golden age glamour.

History & Origins

The Mary Pickford was created in Havana, Cuba during the 1920s when the actress visited the island during Prohibition. Bartender Fred Kaufman at the Hotel Nacional de Cuba is credited with inventing the drink in her honor. The IBA lists it among the Unforgettables, cementing its historical importance as a golden-age classic with Cuban roots.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Sweet pineapple and cherry with a faint floral rose note from the grenadine and soft rum warmth. Palate: Sweet and tropical with pineapple fruit, cherry, almond hints from the maraschino, and light rum clarity. Finish: Fruity, sweet, and gentle with a lingering tropical cherry note.
