I am proud to represent a company that owns such an amazing brand. “Original Long Drink, the first of its kind, is something quite unique. We know that this classic beverage is well suited for today’s consumers, and our retailers are excited to try the authentic version of this popular Finnish beverage”, says Alex Bergson, Vice President N.Y.W.S Manhattan Beer Distributors. “We’re extremely excited to launch The Original Long Drink, imported from Finland, in the New York Market. “Our partnership with best in class distributors in the US, and the unique story of the Original Long Drink will bring an outstanding success to the brand,” says Felix Sencion, Commercial Director of the Americas for The Danish Brewery Group, exclusive importer. Hartwall Original Long Drink is pleased to announce its official debut with the top distributors in the country in the states of California, Georgia, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts in July 2021. Demand for the refreshing beverage swelled abroad until the company finally began wide-scale export of the Original Long Drink to Europe in the Spring of 2015. The classic beverage continues to offer the same recipe created in 1952, and it sells in 15 countries including Sweden, the Netherlands, Latvia, Estonia, Spain, Belgium, Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. To this day, this sophisticated, yet easy-going Original Long Drink holds on to its heritage as the world’s first readymade gin cocktail.Ī long kept Finnish secret treasure, the Original Long Drink captured the imagination of cocktail lovers around the world with its artisanal flavour and the brand’s humble creation story. Hartwall Original® Long Drink was an innovation before its time: a ready-mixed beverage with a unique taste made from Finnish gin, grapefruit, and the purest water in the world. During the 1952 Helsinki Olympic games, in order to help local bartenders serve the throngs of thirsty visitors with ease, Hartwall Brewery came up with a brilliant solution: the first ready-to-drink gin cocktail. Hartwall Original® Long Drink, known as the national drink of Finland, is a refreshing mix of Finnish artisan gin and grapefruit that has charmed Finns for over 70 years.
