Vietnam is located in a tropical climate zone, so there are many special types of fruit. In addition to enjoying them directly, Vietnamese people often blend them into smoothies to quench their thirst. If you are planning to travel to Vietnam, you can easily buy these soft drinks at any sidewalk stall as suggested by Hanoi Green Tour for reference.
 
All of the following easy-to-buy soft drinks in Vietnam are available year-round, but in the summer you will be able to enjoy them to your heart's content because this is the season when the fruit ripens and the climate is suitable for you to use.
 
Sugarcane juice Sugarcane juice is the most popular drink you can easily find in the summer. The sugarcane will be cut into short pieces of about 50cm, then put into a juicer to extract the juice. Some shops will add kumquats to the sugarcane to enhance the flavor. After pouring the water into the cup, the shop owner will add ice to cool it before sealing the cup in plastic to ensure hygiene.

Coconut water Coconut is also a popular plant in Vietnam. In addition to beaches, coconuts are also widely sold everywhere. The type of coconut sold is usually the thin-fleshed coconut. The seller can take the water, add a little ice to the cup for you to take away. In case you want to take the pulp (coconut pulp), you can ask the seller.

Watermelon juice
Watermelon is also a popular fruit in Vietnam. In addition to making smoothies, watermelon juice is also a popular drink. Watermelon has many seeds, so the seller needs to filter out the seeds before squeezing into juice, so you may need to wait more time before having a glass of fresh watermelon juice. Of course, many shops often take their free time when there are no customers to filter out the seeds and put the watermelon in the refrigerator for preservation. At this point, you will have a glass of watermelon when you order, but the watermelon may not taste good anymore.

Pineapple juice
Pineapple is abundant in Vietnam in the summer, and when you drink it, you will feel especially cool. The characteristic flavor of pineapple is a bit sour, if you add ice, your drink will be a bit bland. So you can ask the shop owner to add a little sugar to your glass of water to increase the sweetness if you want.

Orange juice

Oranges are especially good for your health, and you can find a glass of orange juice at any drink shop. If your glass of orange juice is a bit sour, it is because the squeezed oranges are very sour. Otherwise, you will have a glass of sweet orange juice. In some shops, in order to save ingredients but still ensure revenue, the bartender often mixes water and sugar with orange juice to create flavor. At this point, your glass of orange juice will no longer have the standard flavor. So if you order a glass of orange juice, ask the shop owner to make a glass of pure orange juice (100% orange juice).

Avocado smoothie
Because avocados are fatty and thick, avocados are often made into avocado smoothies. The most popular avocado smoothies are avocado yogurt coconut smoothies or simply avocado coconut smoothies. At this time, the coconut flesh (coconut pulp) will be blended with avocado and ice to create the perfect smoothie.

Mango smoothie
Mango smoothies are also a drink that you can easily find in Vietnam all year round. Usually, shops in Vietnam will make you a mango yogurt smoothie to balance the flavor and also make your smoothie rich in flavor.

Tea
Tea is an extremely popular drink in Vietnam. You can buy tea at any roadside stall for only 5,000 VND. This is mainly a refreshing drink when you are thirsty, although the benefits of tea have been proven to aid digestion, prevent oxidation of the body, and help you stay awake. If you simply want to quench your thirst, order a glass of light iced tea, enjoy it and then go to work right away. If you have more time, order a glass of strong iced tea to experience the flavor of the tea yourself and watch the people passing by on the street.

Ice cream
Ice cream is also classified by us as a thirst quencher due to its flavor and coolness. If you are in Hanoi, we recommend you buy Trang Tien ice cream or Ho Tay ice cream, which are famous for their great taste. Both brands have many different types of ice cream, but I recommend that if you enjoy Trang Tien ice cream, try the coconut milk green rice ice cream and with the Ho Tay brand, order a cone ice cream.
