Mary Pickford Cocktail

I wanted to try a new cocktail from the Mr. Boston guide (well, new TO ME - because, let's face it: with a name like Mary Pickford ((America's Sweetheart, circa 1925)), how "new" could it be?), so I went with the Mary Pickford Cocktail, which consists of white rum, pineapple juice and trace amounts of grenadine and maraschino liquour.

 

Interestingly, this wasn't too sweet and the maraschino added a surprisingly authoritative note that went really well with a curry.

 

If this drink had a soundtrack, it would be a mash-up of "It's a Jolly 'Olliday With Mary" from the Mary Poppins soundtrack and Jimi Hendrix's "The Wind Cries Mary".

 

Grade - B+
