Guaraná Jesus
A Brazilian soft drink
Guaraná Jesus[edit | edit source]
Guaraná Jesus is a soft drink produced in Brazil, known for its distinct pink color and unique flavor. It is particularly popular in the state of Maranhão, where it has become a cultural icon.
History[edit | edit source]
Guaraná Jesus was created in 1920 by a pharmacist named Jesus Norberto Gomes in the city of São Luís, Maranhão. The drink was initially developed as a medicinal tonic, but its sweet taste quickly made it popular as a soft drink. Over the years, it has become a staple beverage in Maranhão and is often associated with the region's identity.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
The drink is made from the guaraná berry, which is native to the Amazon rainforest. Guaraná Jesus is known for its sweet taste, which is a result of a blend of cinnamon, clove, and other spices. The exact recipe is a closely guarded secret, contributing to the drink's mystique and popularity.
Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]
Guaraná Jesus holds a special place in the hearts of the people of Maranhão. It is often consumed during local festivals and celebrations. The drink's pink color and sweet flavor have made it a symbol of regional pride. It is also a popular souvenir for tourists visiting the area.
Market and Distribution[edit | edit source]
While Guaraná Jesus is primarily consumed in Maranhão, it has gained some popularity in other parts of Brazil. The drink is produced by The Coca-Cola Company, which acquired the brand in 2001. This acquisition has helped increase its distribution and availability outside of its traditional market.
