The Finnish long drink, or 'lonkero', is a refreshing cocktail consisting of gin and grapefruit soda, popular during summer in Finland. Originally created for the 1952 Olympic Games in Helsinki, this drink has become a staple among locals and tourists alike. Served in highball glasses, it mirrors the concept of other long drinks like vodka soda or gin and tonic. The drink is easy to prepare and can be personalized with fresh juices or sparkling water, making it perfect for parties or casual summer outings.
"The Finnish long drink is as easy to make as a classic gin rickey or a citrusy spritz, and it can be made in batches to serve at a party."
"About a decade or so ago, I was one of those visitors, wandering around the center of this beautiful city when a craving for something cold and refreshing struck me."
