Cold Drinks

Behind every Turkish family gathering there is usually a table crowded with small glass bottles of fizzy gazoz, sparkling mineral water and a jug of chilled ayran, and this cold drinks range brings that same table to UK kitchens. It centres on the brands most households already recognise: Beypazari, Dimes, Sarikiz, Tamek and Uludag.

What is in the range

Organised into Ice Tea, Water & Soda and Fruit Juice sub-categories, the range holds over 80 products. Water and soda dominate the line-up, with Beypazari's flavoured sparkling mineral waters in lemon, strawberry, apple and vitamin C with lemon variants, Sarikiz's natural sparkling water, and Uludag's classic and orange-flavoured gazoz in its familiar 250ml glass bottles. Yayla's plain ayran gives a savoury, salty option alongside the sweeter sodas, while Turnib's fermented turnip juice (salgam) adds the distinctive spiced, sour drink that traditionally accompanies grilled meat. Camlica's plain-flavoured soft drink rounds out the everyday soda choices.

How to choose, store and use

Beypazari's flavoured waters work well as a lighter alternative to soda at mealtimes, while classic Uludag gazoz suits a barbecue or family gathering. Ayran is best served very cold and shaken or stirred before drinking, since it can separate slightly in the bottle. Salgam is naturally sharp and salty, and is traditionally poured alongside kebab or lahmacun rather than drunk alone by everyone. Store all of these chilled once opened, and keep unopened bottles in a cool cupboard or fridge if space allows, since a cold gazoz or ayran is always more refreshing.
