Egils Malt og Appelsín soft drink

Egils Malt og Appelsín is a traditional Icelandic beverage produced by Ölgerðin Egill Skallagrímsson. This iconic drink is a blend of two of Iceland's most popular sodas: Egils Maltextrakt, a nutritious malt beverage, and Egils Appelsín, an orange soda. Historically, Icelanders would manually mix these two drinks during festive seasons like Christmas and Easter, leading the company to eventually offer the pre-mixed version.

The brand has a rich heritage dating back to 1913 when the brewery was founded. Today, Ölgerðin remains one of Iceland's oldest and most prestigious companies, maintaining production within the country. While the brand is deeply rooted in Icelandic culture, it is part of the larger Ölgerðin group, which is a publicly-traded entity on the Iceland Stock Exchange. This specific version shown is the 'Sykurskert' or sugar-reduced variety, catering to modern dietary preferences while maintaining the classic flavor profile associated with Icelandic holidays.
