Mary Pickford Cocktail - Pineapple Week

Mary Pickford Cocktail

1 oz white rum
1 oz pineapple juice
1 tsp grenadine
6 dashes Maraschino

Shake and strain into cocktail glass.

Recipe from the Savoy Cocktail Book.

Refreshing drink. With the ingredient ratios above you barely notice it has alcohol in it. I have seen recipes for the drink made with a 2:1 ratio for rum and juice, which would alter the drink entirely. The sweetness of the grenadine and the maraschino flavor would have a harder time coming through.

In the recipe above, even the small amount of Maraschino is very noticable and is an interesting contrast to the subtle pineapple flavor.
