5 Big reasons to drink Mamajuana from the Dominican Republic at home.

Drink Mamajuana from the Dominican Republic at home.

Unless you’re Dominican, happen to live in a Dominican neighborhood, or have spent a lot of time outside of the all-inclusive beach resorts on the Dominican Republic exploring the real island, you have probably never come across Mama Juana. It’s a concoction that’s made by combining rum, red wine and honey, and then allowing that mixture to soak with tree bark and herbs. The result is an elixir that some say tastes similar to Port or Amaro, but unlike those fabled beverages, Mama Juana promises those who consume it all sorts of incredible benefits, including sexual potency, which has given the drink a nickname of “liquid Viagra”.

Invented by Jesus Rodriguez in the 1950s, Mama Juana was created to be an herbal medicine that apart from acting as an aphrodisiac could rid you of the flu, aid digestion, and circulation, and cleanse the blood, liver, and kidneys. Basically, it was an all-inclusive healer. The medicinal qualities of the drink derived from the bark and herbs that steep in the alcohol, creating a sort of natural tincture of herbal goodness that is thought to benefit the body in all sorts of ways.

Thanks to the almost immediate success of the concoction, people across the country began making their own versions of the drink, touting different benefits depending on the herbs they’d chosen to use. And this became somewhat of a problem because, with so many different versions of the drink out there, almost anyone could make and sell it. In response, President Trujillo chose to control the production and sale of Mama Juana by restricting who could produce it, decreeing that only those with a certified medical license could produce and sell Mama Juana. In doing so, he also legitimized the drink as a medicinal elixir and placed it on the path to becoming the National Libation of the country.

Mama Juana can either be purchased pre-mixed or one can buy the bottle sans-liquid, with only the bark and herbs inside. Then it’s up to the purchaser to decide how much rum, wine, and honey to mix in, and how long to let the concoction sit before consuming it. While some wait merely a week, others wait months, claiming the longer the Mama Juana sits, the more potent and flavorful it becomes.

Consumed at room temperature — and sometimes, though rarely, over ice — Mama Juana is usually taken as a shot, the effects of which are almost immediate, and cause the drink to be referred to as the “Baby Maker,” or El Para Palo, which means ‘lift the stick.” As a result of this, most who order it at the bar receive a knowing wink from the bartender and good wishes for a successful night.

Complicated instructions for making your own mamajuana at home

Do you have a bottle and want to play with the recipe? This may be the product for you. This is the way I personally make my mamajuana from scratch. I like to go to a big liquor store for lots of selection. I think it just makes it fun, and because I take my mamajuana very seriously I choose a handle of the finest rum that I can afford. Remember this bottle is the bottle that will be hanging out in the pantry for a good long time, so make it a good one. Choose a great rum 1.75 sizes and let’s also look for some sweet wine. Preferably La Fuerza or Caballo Blanco. If you cannot find these then a port will do. I would prefer sweet red wine. Next, we need some honey. I suggest finding your local honey dealer and possibly add some extra spices like anise and cinnamon. For my next bottle, I will be adding some clove along with extra sweet anise. I suggest dumping out 70–80% of your bottle into another container for later use. Some instructions say to rinse the wood and then add to the bottle, but some say to rinse with a rum soak, but that seems like a waste to me. There may be some powder if you don’t rinse. Add back the rum to about the bottom of the bottle handle. Next, add the honey, I will add a 1/2 liter to the bottle, and then the rest will be the wine.

Easy instructions for making your own mamajuana at home.

1. Order mamajuana herbs

2. buy rum

3. add red wine

4. add honey

5. Put in all in the bottle and wait
