My family recently went on a vacation to Finland. In addition to enjoying the food and scenery, many of us fell in love with the lonkero, or long drink. This is a strictly Finnish drink made by combining cheap gin with citrus. The most common flavor is grapefruit, which is reproduced here. Lonkero is not sold in the US so I decided to try to copy it by referring to web sites from other tourists who tried to copy it and reading the ingredients on the company’s web site.
Ingredients
- 4 ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons gin, or to taste
- 2/3 cup grapefruit juice, or to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 cup club soda
Directions
Step 1
Place ice cubes in a cocktail glass. Pour gin over ice cubes; add grapefruit juice, lemon juice, and lime juice. Top with club soda and stir gently.
Cook’s Notes:
Add more gin as desired. A shot of alcohol in the US. is usually between 2 tablespoons and 1/4 cup.
