Is this safe to bring on a plane (not through customs)?

We were returning to the US from Punta Cana. We went through customs/immigration and security. Once inside the airport, on the way to our boarding gate there was a store that sold both prepared bottles and strictly dry ingredients. I picked a prepared bottle. We were asked by the sales clerk if we had connecting flights in the states, we did. She picked a sealable bag and told us we would be fine to bring it the rest of the way home in our carry on as we had already checked our other luggage. Upon arrival at our connection in Charlotte, NC we had to go through the entire process of customs/immigration/security again. This included what was stated on the sign as a "luggage re-check". Security told us we were not allowed to have this as a carry on and we would need to start all over at the beginning, checking this bag and going through immigration/customs and security again, or surrender it right then. He told us it would be free of charge to check the bag because we were missinformed at the Dominican Republic Airport. My boyfriend took the bag back to "check it" only to then be told there was a $25.00 charge to check a bag. Needless to say, we just surrendered the $6.00 bottle, but he still had to go through the whole hurry up and wait process of immigration/customs and security again . Funny thing is, once completely cleared to enter the gate areas, there were more stores selling it. I guess if you don't have a connector flight, you can carry on a bottle if purchased inside the airport. If you DO have a connector, wait until you are at your last connection to get it, or do what I'm doing and buying it on line. The entire thing seemed like a scam, we could carry it on from the Dominican to the US and if Charlotte was our final stop, it wouldn't have been an issue.. I will be purchasing the dry ingredients on through Amazon and making it from scratch. This was a very frustrating experience and a time wasting learning curve. I hope this information helps whoever is reading. Safe travels.

Where can I find the list of ingredients? I want to make sure I won’t pop on a urinalysis for something.

If you are referring to the "green stuff." This product has absolutely nothing to do with that. This is mamajuana as spelled. Please research what mamajuana is so you can understand our product and what it actually is. It is used to naturally spice rum or liquor. If purchased we will send you a brochure which shows a list of ingredients as well as instructions on how to prepare.

how i can cure it?, this is the first time i will it.

When yiu purchase Don Zavier Mamajuana you will receive specific instructions. Tobgive you an idea you will have to mix rum, wine and honey and oour into DZ Mamajuana followed by ketting it sit for at least 5 days, dumping and refilling with liqour of preference.

Does anyone have a recipe for what alcohol to put in this. I would have thought i would have received some instructions?

That is very strange. You should have received a set of instructions. Most people use a combination of rum, sweet red wine and honey. I personally like rum and honey. If you have the smaller bottle your gonna want to add about 500ml of rum(or rum and wine) along with 3oz of honey. If you want it sweeter add more honey in 1oz increments until it is right where you lime it. Please remember that the first two batches are really strong and bitter. It will mellow out as you go along.
