The beverage known as “ayran” is traditionally Turkish, but a very similar yogurt-based drink is also made and consumed in Greece, where it is called ariani (αριάνι). The preparation is nearly identical, featuring a simple blend of yogurt, water, and salt.

Key characteristics of Greek ariani

Simple ingredients: Greek ariani is made by mixing plain yogurt with cold water and salt. The yogurt used is typically a plain, full-fat variety.
Refreshing flavor: The drink is savory, tangy, and refreshingly salty, making it a popular choice for cooling down in the summer.
Creamy texture: The yogurt gives the drink a smooth, rich texture. For a frothier result, the ingredients can be blended.
Traditional use: Like ayran, ariani is often enjoyed as an accompaniment to grilled meat dishes and other savory meals, as it helps cut through rich flavors and aids digestion.
