During the holy month of Ramadan, Muslims around the world fast every day from sunrise to sunset and abstain from all food and liquids. After dusk, the fast (roza) is broken with a special prayer and a sumptuous feast known as Iftar. Families and friends typically gather for the festive feast, when they partake in customary savory and sweet treats. Delights including curries, biryanis, crispy appetizers, kebabs, and more are included in this extensive menu.

From inventive twists to classic favourites, these drinks are a tasty way to stay hydrated and invigorated throughout the holy month. This selection covers a wide range of tastes, so you can indulge in a traditional glass of cool jallab or try some exotic mocktails to discover new flavours.
