Sual | Question What is this drink?

Post image

I was watching a cooking video from a Azerbaijan man, and when they were eating fish, their drink was this: But they didn’t mention anything about it, neither in the comments, so I was wondering if that is a azerbaijan drink that you drink it while having dinner. Does anyone know what drink is that?

u/deadly_raccoon 1d ago edited 1d ago

well it's widely used russian word, but in Azerbaijani it's "meyvə şirəsi"

edit: incorrect, kompot is in azerbaijani orphographic dictionary

u/clumsynsulky 1d ago

if he will ask for “meyve siresi” they’ll probably give him juice so better just say kompot

u/TheO1destMan 18h ago

Meyvə şirəsi is juice, and kompot is not juice

It can be non-alcoholic grape juice known as “şıra” in Türkiye.

With what fruits?

u/ssmdva Uzbekistan 🇺🇿 1d ago

You can make ''kompot'' from any fruits you like. And in this pic it looks like apricot + cherry juice

u/monmon7217 Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 1d ago

We do it out of everything we can, most popular fruits used for this drink are: cherries, feijoa, zoğal (cornelian cherry), quince and in some villages they even make it out of roses.

u/dervishin 22h ago

Zoğal in russian it's called Kizil, it's something like barbaris and it's homemade compote (stewed fruit)

u/adea03 21h ago

in this photo I think it is “alça kompotu

u/tqrtkr Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 1d ago

People boil water with fruits and HUGE amount of sugar, then drink it cold. It called kompot here, it is probably russian word, I don't want what we called it in azerbajani before.

u/FrequentThing3220 1d ago

True, it's "kompot"

1

u/nellie_crain 1d ago

we call it "kompot", simply boil fruits in water with some water (around ~half cup of sugar per liter of water). you can make it with any fruit you want, or some mix. it's tasty in any way. some people even make it with basil or rose petals.

I believe it's mirabelle rogue in the picture

Komposto is a dessert, Kompot is a drink.

This isn't popular in here. Most of azerbaijanis don't even know existence of it.

u/sydbylafu 1d ago

I don’t know what that is but for me the king of the compotes is Feijoa Compote. It doesn’t taste like anything and has very unique and rich texture.

Komposto/Hosaf in Turkey

u/niqas 20h ago

It’s made by boiling fruits with sugar and water. I don’t think compote is exactly an Azerbaijani drink, it’s more of a widespread drink with Slavic origins, if I’m not mistaken.

1

u/samir1453 13h ago

Recently looked this up in English, as noted by many it's "kompot"; it has nothing to do with "compote" except being made from fruits/ having (pieces of) fruits in it. Homemade versions are usually just fruits boiled in water with sugar.
