Cocktails with Cachaça : Caju Amigo

Caju Amigo, also known as Cajuzinho (Little Cashew), is a Brazilian drink made of cachaça  and cashew  juice. In some places, a slice of cashew is put in the drinker's mouth and chewed without swallowing, and a shot of cachaça is drunk straight, swallowing the fruit and the drink at the same time.
