The story behind Mamajuana Highball
Mamajuana—the Dominican infusion of rum, wine, honey, bark and herbs—supplies the unmistakably local backbone. Lime and soda turn its spiced sweetness into a brisk highball suited to a long early evening before dinner.
This is a Where It's Five house creation inspired by local ingredients and drinking traditions, not a historic national cocktail.
