The more opinions the better! Let's 'drink together' and share our cocktail stories. Have you tried this drink? What did you think? I'd love to hear from you in the comments section.

The Long Drink is mostly available on the East Coast for now but a little birdy told me they'd be available in Vegas soon.ĭon't worry if you haven't seen them in your area, you can order them online!Īnd check out their other flavors here > Bubbly, refreshing and boozy - that's the trifecta for me on a hot summer day. It is not the booziest cocktail but it will give you a nice relaxing fuzz. This canned cocktail rings in at 5.5% ABV. One shaker = does this have booze? Five shakers = Four Lokos

It is a light, bubbly drink that is not sweet or tart. It is grapefruit flavored which had me worried it would be too tart or bitter. One shaker = not sweet at all // Five shakers = your teeth may curl The Long Drink was smooth sailing right from the first sip. A lot of the canned cocktails knock you back a bit on the first sip with this overwhelming alcohol-ness. I did not taste gin - or any alcohol for that matter - in this cocktail. I can't put my finger on why it is such a great cocktail but I think it is the combination of the bubbles and the super light hint grapefruit (nothing too tart). Plus, it is the perfect poolside cocktail for summer. Move over bloody mary's and greyhounds, this should be your new hair-of-the-dog cocktail. When I say this canned cocktail should be mandatory in Vegas I mean it. They are great friends though so they rallied with me - thanks babes! BUT we had drank a lot of whiskey by this point in the trip so weren't totally in the mood fo another drink. To set the scene for you a little bit, my girl friends and I tried The Long Drink on our fourth day in Vegas - calm down, we were there for work. But holy cocktail Batman! This s*%t is good.

I had read the description on the can 'a unique taste of natural grapefruit and juniper berry flavors with gin' and I was a little worried. 'Oh wow' - I think those were the first words out of my mouth when I tried this canned cocktail. Here is my official review of The Long Drink: But sometimes that pays off for better than others. I'm never going to turn anyone away who wants me to review their canned cocktail for us. Y ou know I am always up for testing a new cocktail. I know I sound like I'm sponsored by The Long Drink - or Finland - but I'm not a swear. Thank goodness for us it is no longer a secret and no longer onlyavailable in Finland. They were afraid bartenders couldn't give out booze fast enough to the tourists so they accidentally developed this fourth category of alcohol in Finland that doesn't exist ant where else in the world! It has long been considered the 'best kept secret of Finland.' *history lesson over* *insert teacher voice here* The Long Drink was originally created by the Finnish Government for the Olympics in 1952. Turns out this is a point of national pride in Finland - and after trying it, I can see why! I certainly hadn't until the makers for The Long Drink reached out to me. Have you? Unless you are of Finnish decent there is a pretty good chance you've never heard of this cocktail either. Alyssa Lynne Photography I've never heard of a 'long drink'
