What is Shikanji?
What is Shikanji?
A Drink as Old as the Subcontinent Itself.
Long before energy drinks and packaged juices, there was Shikanji — the original summer cooler of South Asia. Sold by vendors outside ancient forts, bazaars, and street corners across the subcontinent, this tangy, spiced lemonade has been quenching thirsts for centuries.
The name traces back to Sekanjabin — a sweet and sour syrup from ancient Persia, documented by the legendary physician Ibn Sina in the 10th century for its remarkable health benefits. Over generations, it evolved into the beloved Shikanji we know today — a harmony of lemon, spices, and salt that hits different on a hot day.
