"LONG DRINK"​ is a top selling category of alcohol in Finland - now available in America. The roots of long drinks go all the way back to the 1952 Summer Games in Helsinki, when the country of only 4 million people was still recovering from the Second World War. Concerned with how to serve drinks quickly enough to all the visitors, the government commissioned the creation of a revolutionary new liquor drink - and so the first long drinks were born. Now this legendary taste has finally been brought to America by the next generation of Finns who want the world to experience the refreshing and unique Finnish Long Drink. Cheers - Kippis!
