The Mary Pickford, named after the silent movie star from the early 1900s, is a well known classic cocktail. Here John Gertsen, bar manager of Drink in Boston, tweaks the proportions a bit in favor of the rum, for a less sweet version.
What to buy: Maraschino liqueur is a relatively dry liqueur with a subtle bitter-almond flavor; it can be found at any well-stocked liquor store. While it can easily be found in stores, we recommend making your own Grenadine for this recipe.
