Cajá-umbú

Milder than cajá or umbu alone, but the juice bars sweeten it out of habit more than need.

The mellow version of the cajá milkshake, needing less sugar to get there.

Soft tropical fat against a fruit that is already the gentlest of the Spondias family.

A small squeeze wakes up a fruit whose acid is real but far less aggressive than its relatives.

A regional spirit against a fruit mild enough not to fight it; more fruit than sour in the glass.

Floral sugar on a fruit that already leans floral instead of sharp.

A louder Brazilian acid paired with the gentlest one, for contrast rather than agreement.

A delicate tropical floral macerated into a clear spirit, softer than most fruit infusions get.

Koji salt against a mellow tropical fruit; it reads as a glazed dessert rather than a savoury turn.
