From the Bartender

Named after silent film star Mary Pickford, this cocktail was reportedly created for her at the Hotel Nacional in Havana during Prohibition. Using freshly pressed pineapple juice rather than canned makes a significant difference - look for ripe, fragrant pineapple for the brightest result.

White Rum

Piña Colada

Lusciously creamy and tropical, with bright fresh pineapple sweetness balanced against rich, velvety coconut - the white rum weaves beneath it all with a gentle warming lift that keeps this sun-soaked indulgence from ever feeling heavy.

Dark Rum

IBA Tiki

A tropical explosion of sweet pineapple, tangy passion fruit, and bright lime zest, layered over the rich, smoky depth of two dark rums, with subtle nutty warmth from amaretto and Frangelico and a lively bite of fresh ginger on the finish.

Gin

Singapore Sling

A lush, tropical blend of sweet pineapple and tangy lime, brightened by juniper-forward gin and enriched by the dark fruitiness of cherry liqueur, citrusy triple sec, and honeyed herbal Bénédictine. A whisper of aromatic bitters brings balance and depth to this refreshing, vibrant classic.

White Rum

Bounty Hunter

A sun-drenched tropical escape with creamy coconut, bright pineapple, and smooth white rum, lifted by crisp prosecco bubbles and finished with a whisper of fresh berry tartness. Light, refreshing, and celebratory with a smooth effervescent finish.
