Popular Alcoholic Drinks[edit | edit source]
Bulgarians enjoy a variety of alcoholic drinks, especially with Rakia, which is considered by many to be the national drink of Bulgaria. Rakia is a fruit brandy that is typically made from plums, grapes, apricots, or other fruits. Let's learn some of the most popular alcoholic drinks in Bulgaria:
| Bulgarian | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| ракия (rakia) | /ˈrakijɐ/ | rakia (fruit brandy) |
| бира (bira) | /biˈra/ | beer |
| вино (vino) | /ˈvino/ | wine |
| уиски (uiski) | /ˈuiski/ | whiskey |
| коняк (konyak) | /ˈkonjak/ | brandy |
Cultural Background: Rakia is considered to be such an important part of Bulgarian culture that it even has its own holiday. On the first Saturday of February, Bulgarians celebrate National Rakia Day (Национален Ден на Ракията), where they toast and celebrate their heritage with this beloved drink.
Example:
- Person 1: Имате ли ракия? (Imate li rakia?) (Do you have rakia?)
- Person 2: Да, имаме различни видове ракия. Коя предпочитате? (Da, imame razlichni vidove rakia. Koya predpochitate?) (Yes, we have different kinds of rakia. Which one do you prefer?)

- Person 2: Окей, една сливова ракия идва към вас. (Okey, edna slivova rakia idva kam vas.) (Okay, one plum brandy coming up for you.)
Non-alcoholic Drinks[edit | edit source]
If you don't drink alcohol or want something to balance out the alcohol, non-alcoholic drinks are always a great option! Here are some of the most popular non-alcoholic drinks in Bulgaria:
| Bulgarian | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| лимонада (limonada) | /liˈmonadɐ/ | lemonade |
| кисело мляко (kiselo mlyako) | /ki'sɛlɔ ml'ʲakɔ/ | buttermilk |
| божурка (bozhurka) | /ˈboʒurka/ | soda pop |
| мате (mate) | /maˈtɛ/ | yerba mate |
| пъпеш (papes) | /'papɛʃ/ | watermelon juice |
Cultural Background: Yerba mate is not originally from Bulgaria, it is actually a traditional drink from South America, particularly popular in Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay. Bulgarian interest in Yerba Mate started when several Bulgarian football players played for Argentinian football clubs, particularly AFA Boquense in Buenos Aires. Today, Yerba Mate can be found in many cafes and health food stores across Bulgaria.
Example:
- Person 1: Искам лично сготвената ви кисело мляко, моля. (Iskam lichno sgotvenata vi kiselo mlyako, molya.) (I want your homemade buttermilk, please.)
- Person 2: Разбира се, ще ви донеса чаша от нашето кисело мляко. (Razbira se, shte vi donesa chasha ot nasheto kiselo mlyako.) (Of course, I'll bring you a glass of our homemade buttermilk.)
- Person 1: Благодаря, много е вкусно. (Blagodarya, mnogo e vkusno.) (Thank you, it's very delicious.)
