TL;DR
In Egypt, hotel restaurants and all-inclusive buffets often use soda and juice dispensers, while alcoholic cocktails are usually mixed by a bartender. Bottled Cola/Fanta and packaged juices are not guaranteed everywhere and are more common in bars or higher-end hotels.
What the community said
Recent traveler feedback suggests that in Egypt, soft drinks are often served from dispensers or poured from large bottles rather than handed out in small bottles. If bottled Cola or Fanta matters to you, it is best to confirm this with the specific hotel or bar in advance.

Alcoholic cocktails are typically prepared by a bartender rather than a machine. Quality can vary a lot from one bar to another, so guests often look for the specific on-site bars known for making better mixed drinks.

A mixed setup is common at buffet restaurants: soft drinks may come from a dispenser, while coffee is available from an automatic machine. If you prefer staff-served drinks rather than self-service machines, check the meal plan and hotel category before booking.

Packaged juice is usually less consistent than soft drinks: many places serve reconstituted drinks from dispensers rather than boxed juice. If you are traveling with kids or want to avoid sugary concentrate-style drinks, ask about this separately.
