The name "sweet coquette" comes from a Bonnie Raitt song, The Road's My Middle Name:

"I told you once the day we met

I wouldn't be your queen.

Your little darlin', sweet coquette

Just what my routine

You've been around enough to know

There's really no one else

When I hear that siren call, baby

I just can't help myself"

If an aphrodisiac has been used repeatedly for hundreds of years, does that mean it is proven to work? Mamajuana is a mixture of roots and herbs has been used for over 800 years originally by the Taino Indians who inhabited the Caribbean and the region known as Hispañola in the times prior to Christopher Columbus.

Today, the blend of herbs are regularly used in the Dominican Republic and are fermented, cured and then mixed with rum, vermouth, honey, molasses and other ingredients to produce a potent liqueur. Mamajuana is also known as the "Baby Maker" and "El Para Palo", which means Lift the Stick!

You can make your own by gathering the following ingredients:

Rum – I like Cuban Matusalem Rum
