Pomegranate curchill is a fizzy, tangy drink made with pomegranate, lemon and salt, usually topped with sparkling mineral water. It is a pomegranate-flavoured take on the Turkish drink commonly called Churchill.
Mix pomegranate juice with lemon juice and a little salt, then top it with chilled sparkling mineral water. Add the bubbles last and stir gently; the exact balance of tartness and sweetness can be adjusted to taste.
Pomegranate curchill tastes tart and fruity, with a salty edge and lively carbonation. Pomegranate juice usually gives it a sharper, less sweet flavour than pomegranate syrup, while lemon adds extra acidity.
Pomegranate curchill is a pomegranate variation of Churchill, a lemon-and-salt sparkling mineral-water drink associated with Turkish café and seaside culture. There is no single widely established origin story for the original drink.
Yes, you can use plain chilled sparkling water, though mineral water gives pomegranate curchill its familiar mineral taste. Still water works too, but the drink will lose the characteristic fizz that makes it a curchill.
No, pomegranate curchill is normally alcohol-free. Its usual ingredients are pomegranate, lemon, salt and sparkling mineral water; adding alcohol would be a separate variation, not part of the standard drink.
Yes, pomegranate molasses can flavour pomegranate curchill, but it is more concentrated and tangier than juice. Start with a small amount and dilute it well so its strong flavour does not overpower the lemon and sparkling water.
No, pomegranate curchill is not a proven hangover remedy. It can provide fluid, but its salt and acidity do not reverse alcohol’s effects; water, rest and time are more useful for recovery.
Yes, pomegranate curchill works well alongside savoury, grilled or spicy foods. Its sharp, fizzy flavour cuts through rich dishes, while the pomegranate adds a fruity note that pairs especially well with grilled meats.
Yes, serve pomegranate curchill soon after adding the sparkling water so it stays fizzy. You can chill the pomegranate, lemon and salt mixture ahead of time, then pour in the sparkling water just before serving.

Pomegranate curchill is a fruit-based take on the Turkish curchill, commonly made with sparkling mineral water, lemon juice and salt, with pomegranate juice or flavouring; some versions include spices. It tastes tangy and lightly salty, with a fruity note from the pomegranate, and is usually served cold. In Turkey it makes a refreshing drink alongside lunch or dinner, especially in warm weather. At home, you can adjust the lemon and salt to taste and use fresh pomegranate juice for a brighter flavour.
It is low in fat and protein, while most of its energy comes from carbohydrates. For a less sweet version, use less pomegranate juice and more sparkling water.
