During my recent trip to the Dominican Republic I was offered a local drink called "Mama Juana". Gave it a try and found it quiet nice. I guess it has origins back with the native Tanio who made a tea from herbs and tree bark. The Europeans introduced the idea of adding rum, red wine and honey. The locals claim this drink is helpful for lovers. I thought it had a taste similar to Port.

Neat. I remember on my first trip to the Caribbean (St. Kitts) they had a drink called Ting with a Sting which was a local Sprite-like beverage with rum mixed into it. This, of course, does not date back, but it's fun to say. Like Mama Juana. (Somehow I doubt the native Tanio called it that, though.)

Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?"

John: "I don't know."

Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
