Hartwall Original Gin Long Drink Grapefruit 5.5% is the classic Finnish Lonkero — a refreshing ready-to-drink combination of gin and grapefruit with a crisp citrus character and an easy, balanced finish.
Originally created in Finland in 1952, Hartwall Original Long Drink has become one of the country’s best-known alcoholic drinks. Unlike many modern flavoured RTDs, the classic Original is built around the distinctive combination of gin and grapefruit that defines traditional Finnish Lonkero.
Why We Chose It
Drinkero is mainly about making cocktails, but sometimes the best drink is the one that is already perfectly mixed. Hartwall Original Long Drink brings something different to the range: an authentic Finnish ready-to-drink classic that requires no measuring, shaking or additional ingredients.
Its refreshing grapefruit profile also makes it an easy alternative when you want something lighter and more straightforward than preparing a full cocktail.
What Does Hartwall Original Long Drink Taste Like?
The flavour is fresh, citrusy and gently bittersweet, with grapefruit taking the lead and gin providing a clean botanical backbone.
It is less sweet than many fruit-forward ready-to-drink cocktails, with enough bitterness and acidity to keep the finish crisp and refreshing.
How to Serve Hartwall Original Long Drink
Serve well chilled at approximately 4–6°C. It can be enjoyed directly from the can, poured into a chilled glass, or served over ice.
For a simple upgraded serve, pour it over plenty of ice and garnish with a slice or wedge of grapefruit, lemon or lime.
Best For
- Serving straight from the can, well chilled
- Pouring over ice with fresh citrus
- Summer parties and casual gatherings
- Anyone discovering traditional Finnish Lonkero
- An easy ready-to-drink alternative to mixed cocktails
Drinkero Recommends
Keep it simple. Chill the can thoroughly and serve over ice in a highball glass with a grapefruit or lime wedge. Hartwall Original already has its own balance of gin, citrus, sweetness and bitterness, so it does not need additional mixers.
If you enjoy the original grapefruit version, explore other Hartwall Long Drink flavours such as Pineapple for a more tropical interpretation of the Finnish classic.
What Is Finnish Lonkero?
Lonkero is the Finnish name commonly used for long drink. The drink became closely associated with Finland after gin-and-grapefruit long drinks were introduced for the 1952 Helsinki Olympic Games.
Today, the combination of gin and grapefruit remains the style most strongly associated with traditional Finnish Long Drink.

FAQ
How does the cocktail builder work?
Choose a cocktail, select how many drinks you want to make, and Drinkero calculates the quantities you need. You can then review every ingredient, choose between available products and remove anything you already have.
Can I choose how many cocktails I want to make?
Yes. Choose your guest count and the ingredient quantities are automatically adjusted for you, so you do not need to calculate bottles, mixers or servings yourself.
Can I remove ingredients I already have?
Absolutely. Every component can be reviewed individually. If you already have an ingredient at home, simply leave it out and only order what you need.
Can I choose different brands or upgrade ingredients?
Where alternatives are available, you can choose the bottle or product you prefer. This lets you keep the classic recipe or upgrade individual ingredients to make the cocktail your way.
Are the cocktails delivered pre-mixed?
No. All ingredients are delivered in their original, sealed bottles and packaging — we never rebottle or pre-measure them. Drinkero calculates the quantities you need and selects enough products for your chosen number of cocktails. You mix and serve the drinks fresh at home.
What about fresh ingredients and ice?
Ingredients that are better bought fresh locally, such as fresh mint, limes or ice, are clearly marked in the builder. We still calculate how much you need, so you have a complete shopping and preparation guide.
