By Abonga Xoki, 10 March 2026

From hydrating options that gently nourish the body to celebratory beverages that mark special occasions, the drinks we share during this blessed time provide comfort and sustenance.

From pre-dawn smoothies to creamy milk drinks and spoon-soft puddings, these comforting Ramadan and Eid recipes are made for sharing. Whether they're served warm, chilled or somewhere in between, each one brings tradition, nourishment and a touch of sweetness to the table.

In this guide, we've carefully selected five beverages that will elevate your Ramadan and Eid experience to honour the rich traditions that make these occasions truly special.

1.Creamy muhalabiya with mango sauce

While technically a dessert, muhalabiya is a delicate milk pudding that sits beautifully between a drink and a sweet course. Silky, fragrant and finished with vibrant mango sauce, it’s a lovely option after iftar or as a celebratory Eid alternative to a heavier dessert.

2. Eid milk

This is a classic celebratory drink that’s rich, creamy and synonymous with Eid festivities. This slow-simmered milk drink is flavoured with cardamom and saffron, scattered with vermicelli and topped with toasted nuts. It's traditionally served warm but is equally delicious chilled after a long day of fasting.

Another favourite milk-based treat, this sweet vermicelli dessert can be served as a drink or a light dessert. Its nutty aroma and subtle sweetness make it great for ending a meal, especially if served slightly warm.

4. Date smoothie for suhoor 

Made with soaked dates, milk, plain yoghurt, honey and a dash of cinnamon, this smoothie is simple and nourishing. It's an ideal option for the pre-dawn suhoor meal. The dates' natural sugars and creamy yoghurt make it energising and easy to digest.
