Must try Must! Posted by Katja on Dec 29, 2011 in Uncategorized
Think you have tried all soft drinks? If you haven’t tried the Swedish Julmust then you’ve missed out. In Sweden there are two types of Must, Julmust (Christmas Must) and Påskmust (Easter Must). Sure it is brown, sugary and carbonated but definitely not the same as Coca Cola.
The recipe for Must is a special recipe kept under lock and key. Actually, the only thing different between the two types of Must, Påsk-and Julmust is the label on the bottles. So if you’ve forgotten to buy some Julmust or run out during the Christmas festivities, and happen to have a spare bottle of Påskmust left over from Easter then there’s no shame in drinking that up instead. The same goes for Easter and drinking leftover Julmust.
But the shops can’t charge the same price for a Christmas labelled drink when Christmas is over, so the shops sell all the Julmust at dirt cheap prices. Lucky for the Julmust lovers 🙂 People can buy 4 big bottles of Julmust for 25:- or something like on the after Christmas sales.
If you haven’t tried it, check your nearest IKEA shop or other Ethnic Food store, if you’re lucky they’ll stock it.

I tried several Swedish American food websites this year and I couldn’t find any. Even Amazon.com didn’t have any. I have bought this Nygård Julmust brand in the past and I rather enjoy the taste. It is kind of like a yeasty apple cider. It is very refreshing and cleanses the palate quite nicely.
I did buy Glögg this year and would like any “tips” before New Years if anyone would like to suggest. Non alcoholic tips that is.
Thanks for the Swedish Blog. I love it.

What type of “tips”? Other Swedish drinks?

I tried Julmust last year, my swedish friend was so happy and proud telling me about how secret is recipe for julmust. I really liked it but it broke my heart when I had to told him that it tastes 100% equal a mexican beverage called “Tonicol”. Guess we share more than we thought.
