Faxe Kondi is the cult soda from Denmark and has been one of Scandinavia's most well-known soft drinks since its introduction in 1971 by Faxe Brewery, which today is part of Royal Unibrew. The non-alcoholic beverage impresses with its clear, distinctive taste of sparkling lemon and fresh lime, carried by fine citrus oils and deliberately not too sweet. The moderate carbonation provides a pleasantly tingling mouthfeel, and a subtle hint of quinine and caffeine in the aroma rounds off the flavor profile with a slightly bitter note. The name "Kondi" comes from the Danish word for condition, and for years the soda bore the name of entire Danish football leagues, which is why it is firmly associated in Denmark with sports, summer, picnics, and barbecues. Served well chilled, it is suitable both as a thirst quencher on its own and as a base for non-alcoholic mixed drinks and cocktails. In the handy can or bottle, Faxe Kondi represents a piece of Danish beverage culture that recalls every ferry crossing to Denmark.
