Iceland's traditional drink is Brennivín, also known as Black Death, a clear unsweetened schnapps made from fermented potato pulp and flavored with caraway. Brennivín is known for its distinctive taste and strong aroma.

It has a long history in Iceland and is often consumed during traditional Icelandic celebrations and holidays, such as Þorrablót. Brennivín is typically served in small shot glasses and is often paired with traditional Icelandic foods like hákarl (fermented shark) and rúgbrauð (rye bread).

Brennivín has also gained popularity as a tourist attraction and is often featured in Icelandic bars and restaurants. It is considered an important part of Iceland's cultural heritage and is often referred to as the national drink of Iceland.
