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 state of Piauí.
It was invented by writer and pharmacist Rodolfo Teófilo in the 1890s, who sought to find a healthier alternative to alcoholic beverages. [1] [2] [3] Cajuína is produced by Appert's method—that is, heating clarified cashew juice in a sealed container. The caramelization of its sugars gives cajuína its flavor and distinctive golden color. The process also sterilizes the beverage, allowing it to be stored for long periods.
Somewhat confusingly, a cashew-flavored carbonated soda is also popularly known as cajuína in Ceará.
Cashew is the common name of a tropical evergreen tree Anacardium occidentale, in the family Anacardiaceae. It is native to South America and is the source of the cashew nut and the cashew apple, an accessory fruit. The tree can grow as tall as 14 metres, but the dwarf cultivars, growing up to 6 m (20 ft), prove more profitable, with earlier maturity and greater yields. The cashew nut is edible and is eaten on its own as a snack, used in recipes, or processed into cashew cheese or cashew butter. The nut is often simply called a 'cashew'. Cashew can cause allergies triggered by the proteins found in the nuts.

Apple cider is the name used in the United States and Canada for an unfiltered, unsweetened, non-alcoholic beverage made from apples. Though typically referred to simply as "cider" in North America, it is not to be confused with the alcoholic beverage known as cider in other places, which is called "hard cider" in the US. Outside of the United States and Canada, it is commonly referred to as cloudy apple juice to distinguish it from clearer, filtered apple juice and hard cider.
