Frequently Asked Questions About Lemon Churcill
What is Lemon Churcill?
Lemon Churcill is a Turkish fizzy drink made with lemon juice, sparkling mineral water and salt. It is usually served cold and tastes tangy, salty and refreshing.
How do you make Lemon Churcill?
To make Lemon Churcill, add lemon juice and a little salt to a glass, then pour in chilled sparkling mineral water. Stir gently so it stays fizzy, and serve straight away.
Is Lemon Churcill alcoholic?
No, Lemon Churcill is a non-alcoholic drink. Its usual ingredients are lemon juice, sparkling mineral water and salt; alcoholic versions are not part of the traditional recipe.
Is Lemon Churcill the same as lemonade?
No. Lemonade is usually still and may be sweetened, while Lemon Churcill gets its bubbles from sparkling mineral water and its distinctive savory edge from salt.
Can you make Lemon Churcill with club soda?
Yes, club soda can be used in Lemon Churcill, though the mineral content and taste may differ from sparkling mineral water. Choose an unflavoured option so the lemon and salt remain the main flavours.
Does Lemon Churcill contain added sugar?
Traditional Lemon Churcill has no added sugar; it is made with lemon juice, sparkling mineral water and salt. Sweetening it is optional, but it changes the drink’s usual tart, savory taste.
Can Lemon Churcill help with dehydration?
Lemon Churcill contributes fluid, but it is not a specially formulated rehydration drink. Its salt content varies by recipe, so use water or an appropriate rehydration solution when those are needed.
Why does Lemon Churcill taste salty?
Salt is a defining part of Lemon Churcill, balancing the sharp lemon flavour and giving the drink its savory character. Add it gradually when making the drink, since too much can overpower the citrus.
Can you prepare Lemon Churcill ahead of time?
It is best to make Lemon Churcill just before serving. The bubbles fade after mixing, so you can prepare the lemon and salt first, then pour in the sparkling mineral water at the last moment.
Should people with high blood pressure limit Lemon Churcill?
They may need to, because the salt in Lemon Churcill adds sodium and the amount varies between recipes. If you have been advised to limit sodium, make it without salt or ask your clinician about it.

What is Lemon Churcill?
Lemon Churcill is a Turkish sparkling drink made by mixing lemon juice and salt into mineral water or soda. It is especially familiar in cafés and restaurants, where it is usually served cold, sometimes with a slice of lemon; the amount of salt varies from one preparation to another.
Its sharp citrus tang, savoury saltiness and lively bubbles make it a refreshing choice in warm weather or alongside a meal. In Turkey, it is also a popular casual pick-me-up between meals. The drink is mostly sparkling water, with very little energy—about 7 calories per 100 g. It pairs well with savoury dishes, and asking for less salt lets you keep the lemony flavour while making the drink milder.
