Meet the Kava Mary Pickford
Welcome to KavaKist! We love all things kava and want to share it with the world. Kava is a traditional drink from the Pacific Islands, made from the root of the kava plant. It has been enjoyed for a long time because it helps people relax. Today, we’re adding a modern twist to a classic drink. Let’s learn about the Kava Mary Pickford, inspired by the old Mary Pickford cocktail.
The Classic Mary Pickford Cocktail
What is the Mary Pickford Cocktail?
The Mary Pickford cocktail is a mix of rum, pineapple juice, grenadine, and maraschino liqueur. Named after silent film star Mary Pickford, this drink became popular in the 1920s. Just like Mary, this drink is cheerful and lively.
Who Was Mary Pickford?
Mary Pickford was a famous actress in early Hollywood, known as "America’s Sweetheart." She co-founded United Artists and had a big impact on movies and culture.
