What is the bartender tip for a Mary Pickford?

The IBA uses 45 ml white rum, 45 ml fresh pineapple juice, 7.5 ml Luxardo maraschino, and 5 ml grenadine. Wicki Wacki Woo goes up to 60/60/10/10 — sweeter and pinker. Fresh pineapple makes a difference; boxed juice wants a little less grenadine. No coconut and no blender: it's not a Piña Colada. The Hakuna Matata also crosses pineapple and grenadine, but with coconut and banana. The cocktail cherry is visual.
