When the fast finally ends, the first sip matters. In Pakistan, iftar drinks are more than “something to drink” — they’re a comfort, a tradition, and a quick way to rehydrate after a long day. Whether you like classic sharbat, chilled juices, milk-based favourites, or something fizzy, choosing the right iftar drinks can make your iftar feel lighter, fresher, and more satisfying.
In this guide, we’ll cover the most-loved iftar drinks for Ramzan, how to choose the best drink for iftar based on your routine, and what to keep in mind if you’re tempted by soft drinks or caffeine. Along the way, you’ll find convenient options you can order from Bazaar. If you want to stock up quickly, start by browsing the Beverages section so your go-to iftar drinks are always within reach.
Most of us in Pakistan break our fast with dates and water, then move to a drink that cools the body and lifts the mood. The right iftar drinks can help you feel comfortable after fasting — especially when the weather is warm, when you’ve been out for work, or when you’re balancing family iftar plans with a busy schedule.
A good approach is to build your Ramzan drink rotation:
Fizzy drinks also appear on many iftar tables, but it’s worth understanding how they can affect you during Ramzan. Choosing wisely helps keep your iftar drinks enjoyable rather than heavy.

Below is a practical list of iftar drinks you can keep at home throughout Ramzan. This mix includes traditional favourites, everyday options, and a few treats so your iftar table never feels repetitive.
Rooh Afza is one of the most iconic iftar drinks in Pakistan, especially when you want something traditional that instantly feels Ramzan-ready. It’s commonly mixed with cold water or milk and is often served alongside fruit chaat and savoury snacks.

Jam-e-Shirin is a staple on many iftar tables thanks to its sweet, fragrant taste and easy preparation. It works well with plain cold water and can be adjusted easily depending on how light or strong you prefer your iftar drinks.

Tang remains a popular choice for iftar drinks because it’s quick to prepare and consistently refreshing. It’s especially useful on busy weekdays when you want a fruity drink without extra effort.

Boxed juice is a convenient option when you want light iftar drinks, and kinnow flavour feels particularly refreshing in Pakistani Ramzan evenings. It’s easy to chill, serve, and carry for office or travel iftars.

Among all iftar drinks, plain water remains the most important. Even if you plan to have sharbat or juice, starting with water helps you feel settled before moving on to other flavours.

Pakola Ice Cream Soda is a nostalgic favourite and often appears as a weekend or guest-day treat among iftar drinks. Enjoying it occasionally, rather than daily, helps avoid feeling bloated.

Soft drinks are common on many iftar tables, but they don’t suit everyone. If you’re mindful about the effects of soft drink in ramzan, it’s usually best to have water first and keep fizzy drinks moderate.

Milk-based iftar drinks can feel more filling, especially if you break your fast and then pray before dinner. Many people also use milk to prepare quick homemade shakes during Ramzan.

Coffee is usually enjoyed later in the evening rather than right at iftar. If you’re deciding which iftar drinks work best early versus later, coffee generally fits better after dinner.

Tea remains a comforting part of Pakistani evenings, and in Ramzan it’s often enjoyed after dinner. For many families, chai is the final drink that rounds off the night.

The best drink for iftar depends on your routine. Many people feel best starting with water, followed by a light sharbat or juice. Milk-based options can work well if you want something more filling.
Water first, followed by a simple sharbat or juice, often feels refreshing. If hunger returns quickly, milk-based iftar drinks may feel steadier.
Most people feel comfortable with one main drink after water. Too many iftar drinks at once can feel heavy before dinner.
Citrus and mango flavours are popular in Pakistan because they taste refreshing with savoury snacks. Kinnow-style juices also work well during Ramzan.
You can, but some people find it heavy right at iftar. Many prefer having it after water and a few bites of food, or later in the evening.
Coffee is fine later in the evening if it suits you. If caffeine affects your sleep, it’s better to keep it earlier or limit the amount.
Soft drinks can cause bloating or thirst for some people if taken immediately at iftar. Having water first and keeping them occasional usually works better.
Many families follow a simple routine: water and dates, one main iftar drink, then tea later if desired. It’s familiar, balanced, and easy to maintain.
The best iftar drinks are the ones that help you feel refreshed and comfortable after a long fast. Keeping water as your base, rotating between sharbat and juices, and saving tea or coffee for later can make your Ramzan evenings feel lighter and more enjoyable.
