While water may suffice most of the time, every year, people try their hands at new and unique summer drink recipes that will not only keep them hydrated but also take their taste buds on a culinary and delicious journey. Recently, a man took to X to share the recipe of 'the ultimate summer drink.' It consisted of mixing full-fat yogurt, carbonated water, salt, mint and minced cucumber to make a refreshing and hydrating drink. His post has garnered about 10.1M views on the social media platform with 1.4K comments. While many have appreciated the recipe, the highlight of the comments section is the ongoing debate on whether the drink is a Greek Tzatziki, Persian doogh, Indian chaas or Turkish Ayran. — rossiadam (@rossiadam) "Persian doogh? You're not wrong," commented a person under the man's post, to which he replied, "Yes." "It's a Persian drink called doogh. Now it's being colonized 😂" added another. Others enlightened the man that the drink was Tzatziki writing, "Adam this is tzatziki water" and "They out here drinking Tzatziki" People from Türkiye claimed the drink was called Ayran, a traditional beverage. "You are describing Sodalı Ayran with mint. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Book Now And Save up to ₹23.71L on Luxury Homes in Whitefield Sumadhura Group Learn More Undo Casual Turkish drink for all seasons" and "go to your closest international market and buy this. Its called ayran, turkish drink." Indians related the recipe with the popular buttermilk called 'chaas'. "Its called Chaas/Namkeen Lassi in Hindi. A very common drink in Indian households. In summers, this is a welcome drink in most houses in India," wrote one. "White man discovers Chass. Yayy?" added another. "Bhai ye angrez log chaach ko bhi itna sophisticated name rkh lete hai😭" quipped an X user. Many pointed out how the man had made a controversial tweet pitting different cultural drinks against one another with his simple recipe. "Adam's most controversial tweet ever 😂🤣" Is there a difference between all these drinks? Image credits: X While Tzatziki, Chaas, Ayran and Doogh are all yogurt-based drinks, they do differ somewhat in their ingredient lists and consistency. Tzatziki is a Greek dip that is thick in consistency and made from cucumber, garlic, olive oil, salt, mint, and vinegar. It is usually served with bread or grilled meats and not drunk in a glass. Chaas is an Indian summer drink made from buttermilk diluted with water and a mix of spices such as cumin, salt, ginger, curry leaves, coriander and some asafoetida. It is known to be hydrating, refreshing and aiding in digestion. Doogh, pronounced as Doog, is a Persian drink that most matches the man's recipe. It includes yogurt, carbonated water, salt, dried mint and is aimed to be a fizzy drink. Ayran is a Turkish drink similar to an Indian chaas with a mix of yogurt, water, salt, and mint. While all drinks have similar recipes, they are not completely the same, making people claim the recipe as one or another.
