In the Quran
وَيُسْقَوْنَ فِيهَا كَأْسًۭا كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا زَنجَبِيلًا ١٧
And they will be given to drink a cup [of wine] whose mixture is of ginger
Notes
In the Quran
The cup is a drink of Paradise. Sahih International’s brackets mark words added for clarity. An earlier verse (76:5) mentions a cup mixed with camphor, and the next (76:18) names a spring called Salsabil.
