On Mother’s Day, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson jumps behind the bar. He concocted a special recipe, nicknamed Mana Mamarita, just for the mothers of his life. (Dwayne has three daughters, for information!) You can make one for you for mom, or hey, just for you too.
The Rock shared their recipe exclusively with Women’s health. Its easy-to-prepare cocktail contains only four ingredients and is fully customizable. Here’s everything you need to create your own:
Mana Mamarita du Rocher (1 serving)
- 2 oz. Teremana Small Batch Tequila Blanco
- 1 oz Lime juice
- ¼ – ½ oz. Agave nectar (to taste)
- A handful of your mom’s favorite ingredients
Instructions: Mix Mama’s favorite ingredients (follow the example of The Rock and opt for raspberries and confused blackberries, or cucumber and jalapenos) in a shaker with Teremana, lime juice and agave nectar. Shake with ice and place in a glass over fresh ice. Decorate with more mom favorites.

A lot of love went into this cocktail recipe and so did the tequila. Dwayne and his manager and business partner Dany Garcia and industry veterinarians Jenna Fagnan and Ken Austin co-founded Teremana, which is made in a small town in the mountains of Jalisco Highland in Mexico.
The tequila making process is meticulous at Distileria Teremana de Agave. The jimadores (agave farmers) harvest naturally ripe and sweet agaves, then slowly roast them in small traditional brick ovens and distill them in hand-made copper stills.
If it sounds like hard work, it is. But the brilliant result of the tasty tequila is worth it according to Dwayne. “After years of hard work, it’s really a dream come true,” writes Dwayne on the Teremana website.
