03History

Hollywood came to Havana during Prohibition; the Hotel Nacional named drinks for the stars it served. Pickford's is pineapple-forward and softer than a daiquiri — grenadine for her blush.

The maraschino drop is what separates it from a fruit punch.

Origin contested — the entry keeps verified record and received legend distinct.
