عَـٰلِيَهُمْ ثِيَابُ سُندُسٍ خُضْرٌ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٌ ۖ وَحُلُّوٓا۟ أَسَاوِرَ مِن فِضَّةٍ وَسَقَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ شَرَابًا طَهُورًا Qur’an Al-Insan (76:21)
AA a liyahum thiy a bu sundusin khu d run waistabraqun wa h ulloo as a wira min fi dd atin wasaq a hum rabbuhum shar a ban t ahoor a n
Upon those [blest] will be garments of green silk and brocade; and they will be adorned with bracelets of silver.19 And their Sustainer will give them to drink of a drink most pure.20
  - Mohammad Asad

Implying that God Himself will slake their spiritual thirst by purifying their inner selves "of all envy, and rancour, and malice, and all that leads to harm, and all that is base in man's nature" (Ibn Kathir, quoting 'Ali ibn Abi Talib), and by allowing them to "drink" of His Own Light (Razi).

See 18:31 (where "bracelets of gold" are mentioned) and the corresponding note [41].

They (the residents of paradise) shall be arrayed in the garments of fine green silk and rich brocade, and adorned with bracelets of silver, and their Rabb will give them pure wine to drink.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
The virtuous will be 'dressed' in garments of fine green silk and rich brocade, and adorned with bracelets of silver, and their Lord will give them a purifying drink.1
  - Mustafa Khattab

 The word ṭahûr implies that once the believers take that pure drink, there will be no bad feelings in their hearts or ailments in their bodies.

Their raiment will be fine green silk and gold embroidery. Bracelets of silver will they wear. Their Lord will slake their thirst with a pure drink.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall

Upon them will be green Garments of fine silk and heavy brocade and they will be adorned with Bracelets of silver; and their Lord will give to them to drink of a Wine Pure and Holy. 5853 5854
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Cf. xviii. 31. The bracelets are there said to be of gold.

This would seem to be the culmination of the honour which the Blessed receive at the Royal and Divine Banquet. The words in the next verse express the sort of speech which will make the Guest a denizen of Heaven.
