I recently had the pleasure of drinking mama juana in the DR and loved it. It is going to be fun collecting the ingredients and giving bottles away to friends. Aloha, kevin

Oct 2007- I was in the DR this month with some friends and we all tried Mamajuana...very fun! It was sweet going down, and then warmed up your whole chest a minute later. Kevin(above) is right...it's the perfect gift. Our friends that received this as a 'gift', tried it and thought it was the most unique gift they have ever received. Also an fyi to share, "gin" is not the ingredient we were told(by locals) to use in the drink. We were told- soak bark/leaves in red wine for 5 days, and then pour it out. Then, mix dark rum(90%) and honey(10%) and pour that combo into the bottle. Shake it up to get the bark/leaves taste, and then adjust to taste, as some prefer strong and some prefer sweet. The locals also said that it will last for years...so not to worry about it going bad. One last note-you may NOT take the "dry" ingredients out of the DR through customs...it's considered a "plant". You must put a little wine or rum inside the bottle(enough to wet bark/leaves) before packing it up. Have fun...Susie, California —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.140.2.73 (talk) 21:20, 22 October 2007 (UTC) i smoke pot
Apr 2 2011 - Just got back from Dominican Republic today. We also bought a bottle for my self and one as a gift. Locals in Puerta Plata told us the recipe they use for a 1.14 Liter bottle is about 1 finger width Honey, 2 finger width rum and top bottle with red wine. That was what they used for the bottles they sell. But you are supposed to vary the red wine/Rum amounts too taste. As stated above you can keep doing this process over again and the solid contents will last 10 - 20 years as long as you don't let it dry out.
