What drinks are Jews allowed to drink?

Answer 1

How about Kosher tequila? It's a complex and expensive process for Mexican distilleries to get certification, but Vivanco and Los Generales are two examples who have already had the official Rabbi visit!

Answer 2

Jews are allowed to drink many things. From cow's milk to orange juice. Many Alcoholic Beverages are allowed. (This topic is very complicated and is not simple at all. Each brand and type of alcoholic beverages have different guidelines that can change. You need to contact your local orthodox rabbi about these.)

All drinks need kosher certification, excluding pure water and milk in America (according to most opinions).

Most soda/pop from leading brands (Coke, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, etc.) are currently kosher (at least in the united states). Powerade may currently be kosher (and not necessarily all flavors have the same status), just make sure to look for the kosher symbol.

There are many drinks that are not certified simply because the company does not ask. Some things such as juices have been made in a kosher manner, but the company does not see the advantage of getting kosher certification.

In the Jewish world, the various kosher symbols are the assurance that the product meets rigorous cleanliness and purity standards. There are also some issues with the various rabbinic councils who certify. The differences between them are not important to the general public, but are crucial to certain sects and their desire to follow certain guideline.

Answer 3

Religiously observant Jews will only drink beverages that are certified kosher. There is no prohibition against such things as alcohol or caffeine outside of requiring kashrut certification also many drinks do not require certification such as coffee without flavourings.

Answer 4

Yes, in fact, there are times when wine is an integral part of religious services. Religiously observant Jews will only drink kosher wine.
