Because Islamic law strictly prohibits the consumption of alcohol, Muslims choose from a wide array of refreshing, non-alcoholic beverages for social gatherings, celebrations, and daily hydration. Popular alternatives include traditional options like water, fresh fruit juices, iced teas, laban (fermented yogurt drinks), traditional Middle Eastern jallab and tamarind drinks, non-alcoholic malt beverages, and commercially produced fruit cordials and soft drinks like Vimto.
