Julmust – a true holiday classic in Sweden. Julmust was first introduced in 1910 as a non-alcoholic alternative to beer, and it actually shares several characteristics with traditional dark beers. It has a deep, dark color, a foamy head, and flavor notes of hops and malt.

However, the drink ended up being used very differently than originally intended — it became the whole family’s festive soft drink, enjoyed as Julmust at Christmas and Påskmust at Easter.

Julmust is one of the most iconic Swedish beverages, and today it’s almost impossible to imagine a Swedish Christmas table without it. It pairs perfectly with Christmas food and saffron buns, but is just as delicious on its own. Best served well chilled.

Product description

Apotekarnes was founded when Stockholm’s pharmacists joined together to form Apotekarnes Mineralvattens AB on May 2, 1874.

From the beginning, they offered 37 different types of mineral waters, sold in pharmacies as well as in special water shops and kiosks.

For many years, Apotekarnes produced no sodas—only so-called “refreshing waters,” such as soda water, seltzer, and Vichy water.

At a board meeting in 1908, it was decided that Apotekarnes would immediately begin producing soft drinks, starting with sugar soda, ginger soda, and a champagne-style drink. Soon after, Citron-Brus was launched as well.

Must was introduced in 1910 as an alternative to beer. It shares many characteristics with traditional dark beer: a deep color, a foamy head, and flavors of hops and malt. Over time, the drink became a beloved holiday soda for the whole family, known today as Julmust and Påskmust.

Must is one of the most iconic Swedish beverages, and it’s hard to imagine a Swedish Christmas table without it. Julmust goes well with almost anything—perfect alongside the salty foods of the Christmas buffet, the sweet holiday candy, or an Advent fika.
