Mamajuana is a potent drink native to the Dominican Republic that is purported to have strong medicinal qualities. It’s also a staple at many Dominican Republic villas; it is in our’s. Made of tree bark, various herbs and alcohol, the concoction has been credited with curing ovarian and prostate disorders, influenza, digestive and circulation ailments and sexual impotency. In fact, it is so valued as an aphrodisiac by Dominicans and those who take holidays in the Dominican Republic that many call it “liquid Viagra.”
The ingredients of mamajuana often vary, canelilla, guyacan, albahaca, bohuca pega palo, anis estrellado, maguey, marabeli, timacle and clavo dulce. The leaves, roots and sticks are placed in a bottle, which is then filled with rum. Some makers will also add strawberries, raisins, cinnamon, molasses and fruit juice to enhance the flavor. The longer the rum is allowed to absorb the essence of the ingredients, the better it tastes.
In order to make mamajuana the first time, the wood needs to be cured. This means that twigs and sticks must be soaked in alcohol to remove bitterness before adding the rum.
