Mamajuana is a traditional drink from the Dominican Republic that is concocted by allowing rum, red wine, and honey to soak in a bottle with tree bark and herbs.
Here are a few recipes using this traditional libation.
The taste is similar to port wine. Rumored to be an aphrodisiac, Mamajuana is also consumed for its medicinal value. The alcohol is said to act as an extract base that pulls the herbs' curative properties, creating an herbal tincture that is often served as a shot.
