I tried to make some mamajuana recently, but not knowing the recipe (didn't check here) I just added a bottle of rum and honey to one of those bottles already filled with the bark and leaves. That was about 6 weeks ago, and so was very surprised the other day when I tried it out. Talk about bitter! I took one sip and poured the rest of the shot glass down the drain.
I have since read on DR1 that it is recommended that you first add some cheap gin and pour it off after 6 weeks to avoid that bitter taste.
Unfortunately I used a bottle of Brugal Extra A?ejo, so I am loathe to pour it all down the drain. Anyone have any ideas how I can rescue it? Maybe leave it for longer (I have my doubts) or add more honey?
Thanks in advance.
