Mamajuana

Originally created as a cure-all, this elixir is purported to have healing properties, including curing the common cold, cleansing the blood, liver and kidneys, aiding digestion and blood flow - even increasing sexual potency. While we can’t say that Mama Juana’s reputation as an aphrodisiac checks out, the drink’s many monikers in Spanish and English suggest the popular view is that it does.
