Jugo de Cajuil (Cashew Apple Juice)

The cajuil fruit is the fleshy stem the cashew nut grows from, and it's so astringent raw that most of the Dominican Republic ignores it entirely — Baní is one of the few places with a real street-vending tradition built around drinking it.
The pulp of the cashew apple is pressed or blended into a tart, slightly sweet juice, sold cold from coolers by roadside vendors in and around Baní during the cashew harvest season.
Why it's made this way: Baní's Peravia countryside has extensive cajuil (cashew) tree cultivation, and its seasonal juice stands are one of the few places where the fruit, rather than just the nut, is put to everyday street use.
