A Fun Herbal Story that happened at a Restaurant

 

My husband and I decided to spend some alone time and go errand

running and have a nice meal at a new restaurant in the next town.

It was so wonderful to be alone with him as I was 9 months pregnant

and really in need of just him these days.

We were seated and the hostess handed us our menus and placed a

drink menu on the table. We drink rarely so we ignored the drink

menu for awhile. We were served and ate our food and had a wonderful

time of being together.

As our meal was finished we noticed how lovely the drink pictures

were. On this drink menu, one in particular stood out as I could

have sworn I saw the word DAMIANA.

 

Of course I had to snatch up the drink menu to see if I was seeing

things correctly and sure enough there was a margarita with damiana

in it.

 

So the next time the server came to our table I asked her about the

damiana in this drink. I was curious, was it like a tincture, dried

herb, WHAT????

She thought I was crazy so then further explained I am an

herbalist and that we typically know damiana as an aphrodisiac or a

fertility herb.

My husband is really enjoying this because he knows this girl thinks

I am crazy, and yet I am about to learn something about this damiana

drink so my interest is peaked!

 

She returns to us later and says, " you have just educated me. Go see

the bartender when you are leaving. "

 

So after we paid, we go to see the bartender and he immediately

knows what we are after.

He pulls out this bottle in the shape of a pregnant lady and tell us

about this liquor they use in the drink is made from damiana. He

shared that the Aztecs made Tequila originally with damiana. WOW. My

husband and I were so amused by this guy that was just as interested

as I was in this herbal potion.

Makes me curious to try this drink, now. And my husband had so much

fun watching this girl think I was crazy, to having a two sided

educational discussion with the bartender.

 

And being big and pregnant and seeing this pregnant shaped bottle

was just too fun.

I know he will find a way to get me one of those bottles. It was

just such a fun experience.

 

By the way, a year or so later, I did try this drink and it was good.

Thsi restaurant no longer sells this drink, but I am still

determined to get one of those bottles:)

Blessings,
