very good "oops i'm drunk"-party drinks
🫢
This drink is amazing wish we had it in more stores in the states
Agreed! So good!
The best way to describe this drink is an alcoholic Squirt or Fresca. No gin taste, hint of fresh juniper, but mainly Fresca or Squirt. Very refreshing, light, satisfying, quite unique.
Well said! Absolutely true! Cheers!
It's a cocktail made from grapefruit soda/lemonade/pop and gin.
Needs to be absolutely ice cold (best if you put it in the freezer before drinking) and best served with the glass FULL of ice.
In finland bars have 3 taps. one beer, one cider and one long drink
Great info! Thank you!
I have a new version:
It's a cocktail made from combining grapefruit-soda/lemonade/pop and gin.
Needs to be absolutely ice cold (best if you put it in the freezer before drinking. even after the fridge) and best served with the glass FULL of ice.
In finland bars have 3 taps. one beer, one cider and one long drink. Finns usually call it "lonkero" which also happens to translate to "tentacle".
Tastes like soda. Will get you effed up REAL quick if you don't know what you're doing 🤣
@@moonliteX I need that!!! Lol
All you need is some ice cubes and enjoy it outside on a hot day. Don’t drive.
I like the way you think!!!
Here in Finland bc of the colour we sometimes call the original one as "betoni" which means concrete in Finnish. Greetings from you already know where from 🙂
That’s awesome! Thank you for some background information from the source! Cheers!!
@@pourmichiganreviews I don't know if this is appropriate these days but when the cranberry version was launched at the early 2000s we called it "gay lemonade" because of its color🤫 There is also lime, orange and citron flavours available here
Haha! Too funny! 😂
The "official" finnish (nick)name everybody has used for decades is "Lonkero" (also translates "tentacle" in english). No-one here calls it a "long drink".
I’m learning about this drink every day! Super cool!
Have you see the Hartwall ad for it. " the greyest day of the year"
It's pretty funny
No! I’ll look
Fun fact long drinks were invented for the helsinki olympics 1952. Also if you can get your hands on hartwalls oriGINal long drinks buy them instead😉
Thanks for the info!
long drinks were made for the first time for the 1952 Helsinki Olympics, so that restaurants would have ready-made drinks for the large number of tourists. There were two flavors: the gray colored Gin Long Drink made of gin and grapefruit lemonade and the yellowish Brandy Long Drink made of brandy and pommac.
That’s crazy! I’ve learned so much about the history of The Long Drink since I’ve made this video! Prost!
Finnish long drink is delicious but here In Finland its quite expensive drink 6 pack of original long drinks cost over 15€
Wow! I bet it’s better than this version but that is quite pricey! Thanks for the info! Cheers!
@@pourmichiganreviews it is way better, but we have massive tax here in Finland, so people buy it from cruise ships because its like half the tax there
@@lukiotemmi crazy! I’ve learned so much about Finland since this post! I need to visit!!!!
The name long drink might be confusing for English speakers since long drinks can mean mixed drinks.
I love the extra info I’ve been getting on these products! I appreciate the insight!
The black one is my favorite it tastes more like "The Original" in Finland. the "normal" blue here taste like water to me.
That makes sense. Good to know
Crazy good price up there, here in TN at Total Wine it $17 for a 6-Pack. I would only buy the cranberry and mix my own for the other 3.
That’s too expensive lol they are solid products though!
Nice! Cheers!
Shit 18.99 here for the black long drink. Murfreesboro area
@noaholsen3480 that’s repulsive lol
On a hot summer day, a cold Long Drink.. So good, and refreshing. 😄
Absolutely! I love these in the summer ! (And year round)
The hartwall and koff long drinks are the best ones I’ve tasted
Where did you get them?
@@pourmichiganreviews I had them when I was in Finland
@@mell8305 guess I’m talking a trip to Finland 😂
Those are drinks that can easily drink to get totally shit faced...which is the main reason to drink alcohol to get drunk. Mostly for us Finn's drinking alcohol the main goal is to get drunk and socializing comes second😁 Greetings from Helsinki Finland
I love that!! 😂 I’ve had a lot of awesome comments from people in Finland! Thanks for the info! Cheers!
Lisää lonkeroa, silmät liikku ;) /Brett aka Pera
@@Brfff ??????
@@pourmichiganreviews *chuckle* sorry ... sometimes it offers to auto-translate ... it's a saying I learned when I lived in Finland that I modified ... "more Lonkero, my eyes are still moving!" ;)
@@Brfff haha
You need to visit Finland and taste the real original long drinks, we have original grapefruit one, cranberry, orange, blueberry, lime, pineapple, lemon, lemonade, red grapefruit, passionfruit, mango, raspberry and peach. Also strong variants are the grapefruit one, cranberry, orange and brandy with fruit soda "pommac". What a time to be finnish!
I would love to go to Finland! Everyone tells me that I need to try the real thing! It’s on my bucket list to go over there!
You're long overdue on this. 😉 Good stuff!
I didn’t realize how popular it was!! It’s gotten HOT as of late!
@@pourmichiganreviews lots of sugar in them though.
@@C.._ I knew there was…didn’t see the nutritional facts listed though. It’s quite good still! 🔥
@@pourmichiganreviews if first can is made using the same recipe as Hartwall original long drink 5,5%, then it has around 55 kcal per 100 millilitres. Whole 0,33 litre can contains roughly 180 kcal. I would think this is Hartwall recipe drink, since history is printed on the can.
@@jarivuorinen3878 appreciate the info!
it's soda and gin no idea where the ''seltzer'' idea comes from
This is better than seltzer
I don't know how people think that long drink is compared with seltzer.. 😂
At least here in Finland Seltzers tastes like water
Seltzers are a huge segment in the market. It falls in the seltzer/RTD cocktail category
@@pourmichiganreviews that's weird, the ''long drink'' is grapefruit soda and gin, it's closer to a wine cooler than anything
Finn here. Maybe you should learn to open a can all the way before pouring. It helps with the spills. Pull the tap all the way front and then pull it back again. Don't you know how to open cans in America? This is not an insult, I am just really curious.
Ha!! I appreciate the feedback! This was just something I did while reviewing! I did this on the fly ….sometimes we’re not 100% proper 😂
The black one is awsome
It will mess you up lol
@pourmichiganreviews just had a six pack this weekend. Wanted to try something new. Happy I picked them up
@patrickjackson1989 this is a Great product all the way around! Cheers!
@pourmichiganreviews cheers. Getting some more this weekend
@@patrickjackson1989 🔥🔥🔥
ice is a must
Facts!!
Greetings from Finland, long drink is the best there is. It's best in a glass with ice.
I agree with you 100% thanks for the comment! Cheers from America 🍻
Delicious 😋
Everyone loves these!
When you supposed the invent "Sheltzer"? (Copy of LonDrink). We may discover that, since 1946-1951..... Proudly Finnish.
Love the Finnish comments in here !!!
Colour is like Finnish summer sky 😂
Yes it is 🍻
I guess the location has changed, mine says it is canned in New York.
I’ll look at the cans again….this was quite a while ago when it was first released into distribution. I’ll update
Where can I find this in Michigan?
I can’t say for sure….it’s up to the retailer to purchase and sell it! It’s very popular in my store! You need to ask around! It should be available everywhere! (If the retailer chooses to sell it)
I just picked up a six-pack of the Strong Citrus in a little shop on Beaver Island where I spend a couple months each summer. They had all the flavors. Tried a couple today and they are very refreshing, no ethanol, nice tangy grapefruit, well-balanced, very satisfying. All the Yoopers should like this Finnish drink! If you are stoic, like the winter, and possess “sisu” you’ll definitely love this drink after the sauna… 🇫🇮
@@tommyrq180 I love the Beaver! I was up there roughly 10 years ago for the LoDico wedding. Everyone on the island that our group encountered were fantastic. That was my only trip but I’d definitely like to make another. As for Long Drink, I found a little spot around the corner from me that has it. It’s definitely a tasty beverage!
It's not a selzer is not a vodka soda it's a long drink :D
It’s actually Gin based!
@@pourmichiganreviewsin Finland we have one Vodka based and lime flavored original long drink.
And one brandy based pear flavored too.
That brandy was second original taste among grapefruit, but it's not that popular anymore.
@Mirrori I appreciate all of the insight! Prost!
After two of those black cans you'll be like whatever😃
Lmaoooo so damn true
Woot 1st like
2th like 😂
How long can this continue ? 😂😂😂
seltzer hadn't even been invented yet when the first lonkero was made. sacrilege to call a lonkero as selzer.
I didn’t realize the history until after the review!
You should be talking like Yoopers when reviewing a Finnish Drink! Eh?
I am a Michigan man! Lol
Not seltzer
Gin based. (Not a seltzer review - per the thumbnail)
Woot 1st like
Lmao
😂😂 come on
Woot 1st like lol
🙌🏻 love that 🍻
That 8.5% stuff is dangerous for youngsters indeed.
It can do some serious damage lol
Qua non sequtor
Hi
Long drink IS wery low sugar dring.please read what IS printed on The can
When we first tried these they had JUST hit the market! I can’t believe how popular they have become!
You guys are great! I pulled this up and was like I know them! So a buddy brought a lot of these camping in the UP last week and I was obsessed. I spend the whole time singing the Finland song by Monty Python. So I was looking to see if that was a typical side effect when I found your video. Enjoy ruclips.net/video/baHsoEAAMZU/видео.html
🤣🤣 appreciate the love man! I’ll check this out
