The taste profile of Mary Pickford
22 Reviews
The taste of the Mary Pickford is fruity-sweet and alcoholic. The aromas from the rum are distinct, but are pleasantly underlined by the fresh fruity pineapple flavour. The grenadine syrup and the maraschino liqueur provide further fruity-sweet notes. This makes the drink perfect as an aperitif or digestif, but it can also be enjoyed on hot summer days at the beach, in the garden or on the balcony.
Success thanks to Hollywood
Mary Pickford was a well-known actress who was a regular star of the silent film scene in Hollywood in the early 1930s. All over the world, this petite woman became known as “Little Mary”. Thanks to her special acting performances, she was even awarded an Oscar. The famous bartender Eddie Woelke invented the Mary Pickford cocktail in addition to the El Presidente. He emigrated to Cuba during Prohibition. There he was able to pursue his hobby and his profession despite the ban on alcohol.
With the Mary Pickford Cocktail, he wanted to create a memorial to the actress that would long survive her death. He certainly achieved that with this drink! To this day, the cocktail is popular above all as an aperitif or digestif. The mixed drink can be prepared easily and quickly. Discover the recipe and prepare the drink at home.
