Mama Juana
A Dominican infusion of rum, red wine, and honey steeped over bark and spices.
Ingredients
- • 1 pack Don Ramon herbs and spices (750mL size)
- • 8 oz dark rum (like Brugal Añejo)
- • 5 oz sweet red wine (like a Spanish Tempranillo)
- • 3 oz honey
Instructions
Add the herbs and spices to an empty 750mL bottle. If the spices are new, condition them first: cover with red wine, let rest for 2 days, then discard the wine. Add the rum, wine, and honey, then let rest for at least a week before pouring. As the bottle empties, top it back up with a fresh blend so the spices always stay wet.
Notes
Makes a full 750mL bottle at ~24% ABV. A set of spices will last about 10 refills before it needs replacing. You can buy the Don Ramon packet on Amazon (and it's FDA approved).
