About Original Long Drink
Original Long Drink is a pre-mixed drink of Finnish gin and grapefruit that Hartwall created for the 1952 Helsinki Olympics, so that bartenders could serve crowds of foreign visitors quickly. It stayed popular after the Games and gave Finland the lonkero category. Hartwall has been part of Royal Unibrew since 2013.
