Şıra

Şıra is a traditional non-alcoholic beverage made from freshly pressed grape juice. The juice has a fruity taste, and vibrant purple color, is slightly fermented, and is often sweetened with sugar to taste. Şıra is popular in the grape harvesting season and a common choice during Ramadan, and is often served with some popular regional dishes, especially İskender kebap.

Besides its refreshing taste, this drink is considered great for digestion and has many health benefits, as it is rich in antioxidants and nutrients such as vitamins C and K, iron, and potassium.
