Spanish term or phrase: CHICHA DE MAIZ MORADO
ES UNA BEBIDA DE ORIGEN PÉRUANO

purple corn drink
Explanation:
En Perú existe la 'chicha morada' y la 'chicha de jora'. La 'chicha de jora' es la que pasa por una fermentación.
La chicha morada se hace hirviendo el maíz morado con canela entera, algunos le echan piña, pero a mí no me gusta; se sirve fría.
Puedes especificar, si quieres, que no es una bebida alcohólica.

Nonalcoholic purple corn drink.

One of the most intriguing and delicious things at the Sabor was a non-alcoholic purple drink (they don't have a liquor license) called chicha morada. This is Peru's famous blue corn drink. It's mixed with fruit juices and spiced with cinnamon. It tastes like apple pie, but refreshing.

Purple corn chicha.


Explanation:
Don't translate "chicha", it's a very specific kind of drink.
Put some kind of explanation afterwards like: "Chicha is a fermented drink made out of corn in Peru..."
Good luck.
