Hartwall Original Long Drink is based on what is touted as the national drink of Finland, which was first created in the 50s for the Helsinki Olympics to help restaurants and bars handle the high volume of crowds with an easy-to-serve cocktail in a bottle. Now, the Scandinavian-inspired beverage is making its way to the UK with a format that follows the original recipe.
TheHartwall Original Long Drink is a combination of premium Finnish gin and zesty grapefruit soda that is said to be altogether high-quality, crisp and refreshing.
The Hartwall Original Long Drink is available in both bottles and cans, with a nostalgic design that references the beverage's ties to the 1952 Helsinki Olympics and the torch used to light the Olympic flame.
