Frequently Asked Questions About Churchill cocktail
What is a Churchill cocktail?
A Churchill cocktail is a Turkish nonalcoholic drink made with lemon juice, salt and plain sparkling mineral water. It has a tart, fizzy taste, and cafés commonly serve it chilled.
How do you make a Churchill cocktail?
To make a Churchill cocktail, stir lemon juice with a small amount of salt in a glass, then top it with cold plain sparkling mineral water. Pour the water in last to keep the drink fizzy.
What goes into a Churchill cocktail?
A Churchill cocktail traditionally contains lemon juice, salt and plain sparkling mineral water. Some versions include a lemon slice, but sweetened syrups or flavoured soda change the classic drink.
Why is salt added to a Churchill cocktail?
Salt balances the sharpness of the lemon and gives a Churchill cocktail its distinctive savoury edge. Adding more salt also raises its sodium content, so a lightly salted version is a sensible choice.
Is a Churchill cocktail alcoholic?
No, a Churchill cocktail is nonalcoholic. The standard recipe uses lemon juice, salt and sparkling mineral water; adding spirits would make it a different drink.
Is a Churchill cocktail made with sparkling water or club soda?
A Churchill cocktail is usually made with plain sparkling mineral water, which contains naturally occurring minerals. Club soda can work as a fizzy substitute, but it may have added minerals or sodium and can taste different.
Where did the Churchill cocktail come from?
The Churchill cocktail is associated with Turkey, particularly İzmir. Stories about how it got its name and who first mixed it vary, so its exact origin is not firmly established.
Can a Churchill cocktail help with hydration?
A Churchill cocktail contributes fluid, but its added salt does not make it a better everyday hydrator than water. Drink plain water as well, especially if you are thirsty or have been active in hot weather.
Does a Churchill cocktail contain a lot of sodium?
A Churchill cocktail can contain a noticeable amount of sodium because both the added salt and some mineral waters contribute sodium. The amount varies with the recipe and water, so people limiting sodium should choose little or no added salt.
When is the best time to drink a Churchill cocktail?
A Churchill cocktail is usually enjoyed chilled during the day or with a meal, rather than as a bedtime drink. Its acidity and carbonation may bother some people with reflux, so they may prefer to avoid it close to sleep.

What is Churchill cocktail?
The Churchill cocktail is a Turkish sparkling drink made with mineral water, lemon juice and salt, especially associated with İzmir. It is usually mixed to order: lemon and a little salt go into a glass, followed by chilled sparkling mineral water. Some cafés serve it over ice.
Its tart, lightly salty fizz makes it a refreshing choice in warm weather, often enjoyed with a meal or as a café drink in Turkey. It is mostly water and has just 8 calories per 100 g. If you prefer a gentler saltiness, ask for less salt; extra lemon gives the drink a brighter, sharper edge.
