Candela Mamajuana 750 ml

Candela Mamajuana is a bottled version of the traditional Dominican mamajuana, a maceration of rum, red wine, and honey steeped with tree bark and herbs. The recipe varies by producer, but the base is always that rum-wine-honey blend infused for weeks to pull out deep, earthy flavor from the botanicals. Expect a nose of dark spice and dried wood, a palate that's sweet and herbal with honey and dried fruit, and a warming, slightly bitter finish. It's traditionally treated as a tonic as much as a drink. Good for sipping in small pours or over ice.

How to drink Candela Mamajuana

Serve it over ice in a small glass, the way it's traditionally poured in the Dominican Republic. It's sweet and potent enough that a single shot-sized measure goes a long way.
