Sosialisasi kearifan lokal mengenal laksamana mengamuk sebagai minuman khas riau

Abstract

Admiral Mengamuk is a traditional drink from Riau made from kuweni mango, coconut milk, and palm sugar. This drink is not only refreshing, but also rich in cultural and historical values ​​of the Riau Malay community. Its unique name comes from a local legend about an admiral who went berserk after his wife was kidnapped by the owner of a kuweni plantation, prompting him to cut down the trees, leaving the fruits scattered. Locals then processed the fruits into a drink called LaNamunLaksamana Mengamuk as part of Riau’s cultural identity. This article discusses various strategies for socialization, such as through social media, culinary festivals, and school-based education, to preserve and promote this traditional drink.
