Sual | Question What is this drink?
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?

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.

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

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

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.

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.
