"LêLê is our neighborhood Vietnamese restaurant. We eat there on the average of once a week and always enjoy the food. The restaurant is operated by the entire Lê family. One of my favorite drinks there is this lime lemonade, so here is the recipe, taken from their recently published cookbook, "LêLês gadekøkken", It was created by the father of the family."

  1. Loved, loved, loved this drink. It was so refreshing, sweet, sour, tart, tangy and flavorful. I enjoyed this quick and easy to make lime lemonade so very much. I used key limes in this drink. Thank you so much for sharing Dan. I will be making this often come this summer. Thanks for being a great Pac baby.
