To make a traditional Finnish Lonkero cocktail (also known as the Finnish Long Drink), the easiest and most authentic way requires only two ingredients: Gin and Grapefruit Soda. This lively, refreshing highball was originally created for the 1952 Olympic Games in Helsinki to help bartenders serve huge crowds quickly.
INGREDIENTS
- 60 ml/ 2 oz. Gin
- 120 – 150 ml/ 4 to 5 oz. Grapefruit Soda
METHOD
- Fill a tall highball glass with plenty of ice.
- Pour in the Gin.
- Top it off with the Grapefruit Soda.
- Stir gently.
- Garnish with a fresh grapefruit slice or wheel and a sprig of rosemary.
