Frequently Asked Questions About Churchill drink
What is a Churchill drink?
A Churchill drink is a Turkish-style mixture of lemon juice, salt and sparkling mineral water. It is usually served cold, often with ice, and has a tangy, salty, fizzy taste.
How do you make a Churchill drink?
To make a Churchill drink, stir lemon juice with a little salt in a glass, then pour in chilled sparkling mineral water. Add ice or a lemon wedge if you like.
Does a Churchill drink help with a hangover?
No, a Churchill drink is not a proven hangover cure. Drinking fluids may help with thirst, but lemon, salt and sparkling water do not reverse alcohol’s effects or make alcohol leave your body faster.
Why is it called a Churchill drink?
The origin of the name “Churchill” is uncertain. Although the drink is sometimes linked to Winston Churchill, there is no widely accepted, well-documented explanation confirming that connection.
Is a Churchill drink the same as lemonade?
No, a Churchill drink is not lemonade. It combines lemon, salt and sparkling mineral water, giving it a salty, fizzy taste; lemonade is typically still and sweetened.
Can a Churchill drink raise your blood pressure?
It can contribute sodium from the added salt, which matters for blood pressure management. If you have high blood pressure or have been told to limit sodium, ask your healthcare professional whether it suits you.
Is a Churchill drink good for hydration after exercise?
It can provide fluid after exercise, but it is not necessary after every workout. Drink water to meet ordinary thirst, and be mindful that the salt in a Churchill drink may not suit everyone.
Can you use club soda instead of mineral water in a Churchill drink?
Yes, club soda can make a fizzy Churchill-style drink, but the mineral content and taste may differ from sparkling mineral water. The classic Turkish version is commonly made with maden suyu, or sparkling mineral water.
Does a Churchill drink contain alcohol?
No, a traditional Churchill drink is non-alcoholic. It is made from lemon, salt and sparkling mineral water, though a bar or restaurant could offer its own altered version.
Can a Churchill drink replace a sports drink?
Not reliably. A Churchill drink provides fluid and salt, but its composition is not formulated to meet every athlete’s needs. For ordinary activity, water is usually enough; prolonged or intense exercise may call for a suitable sports drink.

What is Churchill drink?
Churchill drink is a Turkish café-style mix of lemon juice, salt and sparkling mineral water. Its exact origins are unclear, though it is especially associated with İzmir and is now found in cafés and homes across Turkey. The balance of tartness and salt varies from one glass to another.
Served cold, often over ice with a lemon wedge, it is brisk and fizzy, with a distinctly savoury edge rather than the sweetness of a soft drink. In Turkey, people often enjoy it as a refreshing drink alongside a meal or on a warm day. Without added sugar, it is very low in calories; the listed amount is 3 calories per 100 g. Use less salt or add more lemon to adjust the taste.
