WHAT IS MAMAJUANA?
Mamajuana is the "unoffical drink" of the Dominican Republic. If you travel to Punta Cana, you’ll see a lot of people enjoying a mamajuana drink at your resort!
The legendary drink dates back hundreds of years with rich history, and has become a token of Dominican pride and culture.

ALL NATURAL INGREDIENTS
We believe in natural ingredients and transparent sourcing. Our recipe is made in small batches, ensuring the highest quality and control.
• All natural ingredients. No artificial colors, flavors or additives.
• Distilled from fresh-pressed sugar cane, separating us from other Dominican rum brands that use molasses.
• Aged in Bourbon casks, our recipe is aged in the warm Caribbean climate before it's bottled.
• Handmade in the Dominican Republic, with an authentic traditional recipe.
When we say we're all natural, we mean it. Candela is as "farm to bottle" as it gets!

2) Mixed cocktails: Get inspired with these signature spiced rum cocktails featured in People En Español Magazine!
3) Shots: Just be sure to raise a proper toast. Pa arriba, pa abajo, pal centro, pa dentro!
