==Etymology==
''Draksha'' is the Sanskrit word for grape.<ref name="thakkur1974" /> "Asava" means "distillate", "juice" or "extract".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://spokensanskrit.de/index.php?tinput=Asava&script=&direction=SE&link=yes|title = Sanskrit - Asien.net}}</ref>
Thus "Drakshasava" means "extract from grapes".

==Historical references==
Drakshasava found mention in the [[Sushruta Samhita]], a book of remedies dating to the 3rd–4th century AD.<ref name="sushruta1998">{{Citation | title=Suśrutasaṃhitā | author=Suśruta, Yādavaśarmā Trivikrama Ācārya, Narayan Ram Acharya, Ḍalhaṇa, Gayādāsācārya | year=1998 | access-date=2010-05-04 | publisher=Kr̥ṣṇadāsa Akādamī | isbn=9788121800112 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4hXbAAAAMAAJ | quote=''... द्राक्षासव ...''}}</ref>
