From Churchill to Tiger Milk: The Top 5 Weirdest Summer Drinks

other · 2026-08-26

The article, published in the German newspaper Der Freitag, presents a list of the five weirdest summer drinks, as compiled by the editorial team. The drinks range from salty to spicy, bitter, or simply unusual. One notable example is the 'Churchill' drink, encountered at a beach bar on the Turkish Aegean coast. The author's family, driven by heat, stopped at a picturesque bar. The child, wanting something exciting, chose 'Churchill' from the menu. The drink consisted of a small bottle of soda, half a lemon, and some salt, served for DIY mixing. While the child was initially enthusiastic, the taste was disappointing, and the child switched to a lemonade. The author found it salty and refreshing but unusual. The waiter could not explain the drink's namesake, the former British Prime Minister. The article also mentions 'Tiger Milk' as another drink on the list. The full list is available in the current issue of Der Freitag.
