Mama Juana (or Mamajuana) is a spiced alcoholic beverage made by infusing a mixture of rum, red wine, and honey with tree bark and herbs. The taste is similar to port wine and the color is a deep red. It originates in the Dominican Republic.

The unofficial "official" drink of Punta Cana and the wider Dominican Republic is Mamajuana. This unique beverage is deep-rooted in Dominican heritage and is made by steeping a mixture of bark, herbs, and roots (such as bejuco caro and maguey) in a blend of dark rum, red wine, and honey. While it is often touted as a medicinal elixir or an aphrodisiac, it is most commonly enjoyed as a digestive shot after dinner or as a celebratory drink at beach resorts. In 2026, many upscale Punta Cana resorts also feature a modernized version known as the "Mamajuana Mule," which mixes the spiced liquid with ginger beer and lime. Beyond Mamajuana, the "Santo Libre"—a refreshing cocktail of Dominican rum (like Brugal or Barceló), lemon-lime soda, and fresh lime juice—is an extremely popular local choice for surviving the tropical heat. If you are looking for something non-alcoholic, the "Morir Soñando" (Die Dreaming), made with orange juice, milk, sugar, and crushed ice, is a staple of Dominican breakfast and cafe culture that visitors find surprisingly delicious and creamy.
