Significado
A refreshing cold beverage.
Contexto cultural
In Azerbaijan, it is common to serve 'şərbət' at weddings and funerals as a traditional cool drink. It is often made with lemon, sugar, and saffron. In the summer, Baku residents flock to 'çayxana's (tea houses) but often order 'sərin içkilər' like 'Düşes' or 'Tərxun' (tarragon soda) to cool down. In mountainous regions, 'sərin içki' often refers to pure spring water (bulaq suyu) which is naturally ice-cold even in August. Offering a cool drink is the first thing an Azerbaijani host does when a guest arrives from the heat. Refusing it might be seen as a sign that you are in a hurry.
Ordering in Baku
If you just ask for 'sərin içki', the waiter might bring you a local pear soda (Düşes). Be specific if you want water!
Temperature
Be careful! Some 'sərin içki' in Azerbaijan are served extremely cold, which might be a shock if you aren't used to it.
