History
The Mary Pickford cocktail is a short drink made with rum, maraschino, pineapple juice and grenadine syrup. It was first published in a cocktail book in 1927 in "El Arte De Hacer Un Cocktail Y Algo Mas", in this book with an extra egg white, but ultimately disappeared very quickly since in 1929 we already find the final recipe as we know it today in the book "The Cocktail Book" by Juan Lasa.
The invention of this cocktail is attributed to Fred Kaufman, a bartender at a Cuban hotel where actress Mary Pickford visited in the 1920s.
