What it is
The long drink of 1952: lonkero — grapefruit soda and gin, created for the Helsinki Olympics to be served fast to crowds; it became Finland's best-selling drink category (the Hartwall Original is the blue-can icon) and now comes in every flavour. Origins: the state alcohol monopoly Alko commissioned ready-mixed drinks for the 1952 Games; the grapefruit 'long drink' never left. Made from: gin (or fermented base in modern versions), grapefruit soda. How it's made: 1) Mix gin with grapefruit soda over ice (or buy the can). 2) Serve tall and cold. 3) Repeat at the mökki (summer cottage) sauna. Served: at terraces, ferries and cottage docks all summer. Flavor: grapefruit sparkle, juniper whisper. Strength: 4.5-5.5%. Culture: lonkero is the taste of the Finnish summer — the 'long' in the name is the tall glass and the longer evening. See also: Sahti, Koskenkorva.
