What is Sugar Cane Juice?
Sugar cane juice vendors are a common sight across Cambodia, their manual or electric presses crushing stalks of sugar cane into sweet, pale green juice. Served over ice with a squeeze of calamansi lime, it's incredibly refreshing and natural. The juice tastes grassy, sweet, and slightly mineral. At $0.25-0.50 a glass, it's one of the cheapest and most refreshing drinks in the country.
- Price range: $0.25–0.75
- Spice level: No spice
- Best cities to try it: Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Battambang, everywhere
- Watch it being pressed fresh — the lime squeeze at the end cuts the sweetness perfectly.
