History
The Mary Pickford is a classic from the Prohibition era, said to have originated in Havana during the actress's visit. It’s a delightful rum-based daisy, distinguished by its use of pineapple juice and maraschino liqueur, which give it a unique tropical fruitiness and delicate floral notes, making it a perfect 'sunshine in a glass' kind of drink.
