A record number of international visitors was expected for the 1952 Olympics, and the state alcohol company Alko asked Hartwall to produce ready-mixed long drinks, so that bars and restaurants could avoid the worst queues when tourists rushed in to ease the tension of the games and the thirst of the summer heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLong drink originally meant any lengthened alcoholic drink mixed in the glass. In Finland, the long drink – lonkero, as it's fondly called – has since become the name of a gin-based drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe long drink was only meant to be sold during the summer games, but Finns fell in love with the combination of gin and grapefruit juice. Today it's practically the national drink, and there are many flavours to choose from.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kyrö Distillery Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42593718698213,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/1374\/2053\/products\/strongkyro___shop.webp?v=1646754876","url":"https:\/\/kyrodistillery.fi\/en\/products\/longkyro-strong-cranberry","provider":"Kyrö Distillery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
