The Long Drink

*The Finnish Long Drink was gifted to me for social media content creation.

One Sunday afternoon a few years ago, I sat down in a pub to watch a Patriots game and get some greasy bar food. The bartender told me there was a $5 special on a drink called The Long Drink and I tried it. The rest is history.

With spring time here and warmer weather starting up, I love a good refreshing cocktail. The Long Drink drinks more on the seltzer side but it’s actually a cocktail. This is my drink of choice when I’m poolside because let’s be real, whiskey shots and swimming don’t really mix. The Finnish Long Drink is a canned gin cocktail flavored with grapefruit, unless you’re drinking the cranberry one which is my personal favorite.

Gin brings out so much flavor. A perfect winter dinner for me looks just like this: ramen and a Long Drink.

The Finnish Long Drink is a canned gin soda cocktail that tastes like summer in a can. You can mix it with multiple other drinks for different flavors. If you’re like me, you just add in a little bit more grapefruit juice. My personal favorite is the cranberry Long Drink with an extra shot of gin. But if you prefer something stronger, then the Strong Drink is your best bet. The new peach flavor is my go-to when I’m by the pool in the summer. It also pairs nicely with so many different foods in a way that I wouldn’t expect. Ramen, dumplings, pizza, you name it, the Long Drink is a perfect match.
