Churchill is a Turkish drink made by combining sparkling mineral water with lemon juice and a little salt. It is served cold and tastes tangy and lightly salty, rather than sweet like conventional lemonade.
To make Churchill, add fresh lemon juice and a small amount of salt to cold sparkling mineral water, then stir gently. Pour in the mineral water last to preserve its fizz, and adjust the salt to taste.
Salt gives Churchill its characteristic savory edge and balances the sharpness of the lemon. It is not essential to the drink, so you can leave it out or use less if you are limiting sodium.
No, traditional Churchill contains no alcohol. It is a nonalcoholic mix of sparkling mineral water, lemon juice, and salt; a bar or restaurant could serve a modified version, so ask about added ingredients if needed.
No, Churchill does not cure a hangover. Its mineral water can contribute to fluid intake, but lemon and salt do not reverse alcohol’s effects; time is needed for recovery, and you should not drive after drinking.
No, Churchill is usually made with sparkling mineral water, lemon juice, and salt, while lemonade is commonly made with water, lemon, and sugar. Churchill is fizzy and savory; lemonade is generally still and sweet.
Yes, Churchill may cause bloating because carbonation can increase gas and belching. Its lemon juice may also aggravate heartburn in some people; if you notice symptoms after drinking it, reduce the amount or avoid it.
The salt added to Churchill contributes sodium, and excess sodium can make blood pressure harder to control. Choose a salt-free version if you have been advised to limit sodium; ask your clinician about your individual needs.
You can drink Churchill regularly, but it is not necessary to have it every day. Salted versions add sodium, so frequent drinkers may prefer a salt-free recipe or plain water as their everyday drink.
Traditional Churchill uses plain, unflavored sparkling mineral water, fresh lemon juice, and salt. Sweetened or flavored soda changes the drink’s usual tangy, savory taste; add the lemon just before serving for a fresher flavor.

Churchill, also called iced lemon soda, is a Turkish café drink made by combining sparkling mineral water with lemon juice and usually a little salt. Here, “soda” means fizzy mineral water rather than a sweet soft drink; the balance of lemon and salt varies from place to place.
Served cold over ice, it has lively bubbles, a sharp citrus tang and a lightly savoury edge. In Turkey it is a popular refreshing choice in warm weather and can be enjoyed with a meal or on its own. It is light in energy, with 12 kcal per 100 g and a small amount of carbohydrate. If you prefer a milder taste, ask for less salt or add the lemon gradually when making it at home.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
