To install latest:

brew cask install adoptopenjdk

To install a specific version

brew tap AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk
brew cask install adoptopenjdk8
brew cask install adoptopenjdk9

If you are looking to just bring down the binary without actually installing it, simply navigate to https://adoptopenjdk.net

I found this is the easiest way to download and install. Navigate here and choose platform.

You can also install openjdk from Zulu, a commercial vendor that builds and releases OpenJDK free of charge here

You can just manually install it from the above link!
