Churchill (with soda) is a Turkish drink made with sparkling mineral water, lemon juice, and salt. Some versions add chili flakes. It is savory and citrusy rather than sweet, and recipes vary in how much salt they use.
To make Churchill (with soda), put lemon juice and a little salt in a glass, then slowly pour in plain sparkling mineral water. Stir gently to keep it from foaming over, and add chili flakes or a lemon wedge if you like.
No, Churchill (with soda) is normally alcohol-free. Its usual ingredients are sparkling mineral water, lemon juice, and salt; it is not a cocktail, although a bar could make an unrelated alcoholic variation.
No, Churchill (with soda) is not the same as lemonade. It is usually a savory mix of lemon, salt, and sparkling mineral water, while lemonade is typically still water with lemon and a sweetener.
No, Churchill (with soda) does not cure a hangover or speed alcohol clearance. Its mineral water can contribute to fluid intake, but the drink cannot undo alcohol’s effects, and its salt does not make it a proven hangover remedy.
Yes, Churchill (with soda) contributes fluid because its main ingredient is water. However, the added salt can raise sodium intake, so it is not automatically a better everyday hydration choice than plain water.
Churchill (with soda) can contain a substantial amount of sodium because salt is added directly, and the amount varies by recipe. If you need to limit sodium, leave out the added salt or choose another drink.
Yes, Churchill (with soda) may trigger reflux in some people. Its carbonation can cause belching, and lemon is acidic; if either worsens your symptoms, skip the drink or try a non-carbonated, less acidic option.
Chili is an optional addition to Churchill (with soda), not a required ingredient. Some Turkish versions use red pepper or chili flakes to give the lemon-and-salt drink a spicy edge; you can leave it out.
The origin of the name Churchill (with soda) is unclear. Stories connecting it to Winston Churchill are repeated, but there is no well-established account proving that connection; the name is commonly used in Turkey for this salty lemon-and-mineral-water drink.

Churchill with soda is a Turkish fizzy drink made with lemon juice, salt and sparkling mineral water. Some versions add black pepper or chilli for a little extra bite.
Served cold, it is tart, salty and lightly sparkling, and is especially popular as a refreshing drink in warm weather. In Turkey you’ll find it in cafés, often alongside a meal; at home, it’s easy to mix to taste. It is very low in calories, but the salt gives it a savoury edge. Use less salt if you prefer a milder drink, and add more lemon for a brighter flavour.
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.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
