I know it’s not brewed in Finland but hope it will accelerate more long drink imports from Finland. This display was at the entrance to Total Wine and More in Temecula, California. Prime retail space!

God damn cultural appropriation at it again! /s
Is that made with real gin, not that brewed shit what they sell in Finland? Of course they make real one here as well.
have my upvote
Cool as concrete
Awesome 🙂 Thanks for sharing (Again)
This one YouTuber I occasionally watch (MistaGG) had a can, I wondered where in hell did he get Lonkero in the States!
You must pay reparations for appropriating Finnish culinary heritage and culture. I am expecting to be compensated in whiskey
Does anyone else think that Hartwall should’ve expanded their production overseas? Feels like a missed opportunity given how sparce the competition is for stuff like long drinks outside of northern Europe, not to mention the size of the company.
Nice, kippis!🍻
Long drink means large alcoholic drink
Ah yes, my favorite part about Finnish nature, palm trees
Eh, better to make it locally with licence. It’s more efficient and environmentally friendly.
I notice it just says “citrus” on the box but the original stuff is specifically grapefruit. I wonder if it’s different stuff or if they just thought that “citrus” sounds more appealing or something
Lonkero mainittu, torilla tavataan
Careful with the black lonkero
Okay, thats for me. What are you drinking?
Best hangover “cure”
I would personally never combine the words “refreshing” and “liquor”.
No wonder..its an awesome drink👍
Lonkero!! 😀
This is pretty awesome! Hope you enjoy it!
You guys should buy our imports
I’ve tasted it, it’s strangely less sweet with a lighter flavor than the real deal. You’d think Americans would like a more sugary drink but I guess it’s capitalizing on the seltzer popularity in the US and not trying to be something too different.

Total Wine is great. So much better than BevMo. I’ve only had long drink actually in Finland even though I see it so many places here (even Ralphs and Vons sell it)
Nice! Now all you need is a lakeside and a good sauna to go with it.
As long as they keep the Finnish in the finnish long drink I’m happy
Very popular in Michigan as well. It’s probably been around here for 2-3 years now. Good stuff.
different company/product, but it’s damn close to the real thing.
It’s also in mainstream grocery stores in the Midwest. Due to an allergy of someone I know I had to get it confirmed btw — the blue ones have grapefruit and the pink ones (cranberry) have no grapefruit 🙂
What could be more Finnish than a giraffe?
They blew it up in Florida about a year ago with big displays and advertising stands like the ones in the picture. Walmart, everywhere. Then just as fast, it was gone. I should have stocked up.
Most Finnish long drink is disgusting. Like sugar water with some flavoring.
The American variant is actually much better! I hope more American companies start making their long drink and export it to Finland.
8-pack for under 20? Cheaper in the US than here in Finland :/
“I know it’s not brewed in Finland”
Is this brewed fake lonkero or real gin-based? The poster says “with real liquor”. Brewed fake lonkeros are popular here too because of their cheap price. Tho nothing beats Hartwall original in taste.
