Sparkling Vietnamese Limeade from KatiesCucina.com

This Sparkling Vietnamese Limeade is a light-citrus bubbly beverage perfect for sipping on a warm summers day.

Four wine glasses filled with limeade and recipe title text on image for Pinterest.

If you are looking for a refreshing family-friendly drink this recipe for Sparkling Vietnamese Limeade is the ticket. It’s sweet with a hint of lime and the sparkling water is what adds an additional pop to the recipe. So incredibly refreshing on hot summer day. My kids like drinking this with out the “bubbles” so that can totally be optional if you aren’t a fan of carbonated soda. I love how versatile this drink is, too!

    Just kidding, But per directions “Fill 4 glasses with ice and rim with salt.” Wouldn’t it be easier to “Rim the glasses with salt then fill with ice?”

      This drink is perfect for my Asian themed Father’s Day dinner coming up. Is there a Vietnamese name for this drink? I am preparing a menu and would love to highlight everything possible.

      JayJay, I’m not well versed in Vietnamese cuisine. I consulted the internet and this is what it came up with:

      “Soda Chanh” (pronounced soh-dah chan)

      “Soda” = sparkling water or carbonated drink

      “Chanh” = lime

      So, Soda Chanh literally translates to lime soda and is a classic, refreshing Vietnamese drink made with freshly squeezed lime juice, sugar, and club soda over ice. You might also see it listed as Nước Chanh Có Gas, but “Soda Chanh” is the most common and casual name used in Vietnam.
