Churchill with Cucumber is a Turkish-style sparkling drink made with mineral water, lemon juice, salt and cucumber. It is a cucumber variation of Churchill, a salty, citrusy drink commonly served cold; the story behind the name is not firmly established.
To make Churchill with Cucumber, add lemon juice and a little salt to chilled sparkling mineral water, then add cucumber slices. Mix gently and serve right away so the drink keeps its fizz; adjust the lemon and salt to taste.
Churchill with Cucumber is not a proven hangover remedy. Its water contributes to fluid intake, but the salt does not reverse alcohol’s effects, and the drink cannot speed alcohol clearance; drinking water and allowing time are more reliable choices.
Yes, you can make Churchill with Cucumber using club soda, though the taste may be different. Sparkling mineral water naturally contains minerals, while club soda is carbonated water that may have added minerals or salts, depending on the product.
Cucumber gives Churchill with Cucumber a mild, fresh aroma that softens the sharp lemon-and-salt flavor. Thin slices release some flavor as the drink sits; they are mainly for taste and texture, rather than a major source of cucumber nutrition.
Churchill with Cucumber can foam because lemon juice added to carbonated water encourages dissolved carbon dioxide to escape quickly. Pour the lemon in slowly over the side of a roomy glass, and stir gently to reduce fizzing and spills.
Churchill with Cucumber is not a dependable replacement for a formulated electrolyte drink after prolonged, strenuous exercise. Its salt and mineral content can vary with the recipe and water used, so it does not provide a consistent electrolyte balance.
Churchill with Cucumber is best drunk immediately. Refrigerating it briefly can keep it cold, but carbonation fades after mixing, and cucumber slices become less crisp; for the freshest result, add the sparkling water and cucumber just before serving.
Churchill with Cucumber may not suit a low-sodium diet if salt is added. Leave the salt out or use less, and remember that mineral water can also contain sodium; anyone following a prescribed sodium limit should ask their clinician or dietitian about suitable choices.
You can use peeled or unpeeled cucumber in Churchill with Cucumber. Wash it well if leaving the skin on; thin, unpeeled slices have a slightly firmer texture, while peeled slices give the drink a gentler cucumber flavor.

Churchill with Cucumber is a Turkish take on Churchill, a refreshing drink made by adding lemon juice and salt to sparkling water. Cucumber slices lend a crisp, mild aroma, while the lemon and salt give it a lively tart-and-savoury taste. It is usually served very cold, often over ice.
In Turkey, it is a familiar café and home refreshment on warm days, and can be enjoyed alongside spicy food or savoury snacks. The drink is mostly water and is very low in calories. If you prefer a gentler, less salty flavour, use less salt and let the cucumber and lemon bring the brightness.
