Cajuína
Cajuína (Brazilian Portuguese: [kaˌʒuˈinɐ]) is a non-alcoholic, non-carbonated beverage made of blended cashew apples.
It is traditional in the northeast region of Brazil, especially in the states of Ceará and Piauí. It was created by a Brazilian pharmaceutist as a healthy substitute for alcohol beverages, in order to combat the alcoholism.
