Why Poro Shines at Every Occasion

Poro Long Drink slots seamlessly into any moment, thanks to its balanced profile: 5.5% ABV gin meets zesty grapefruit soda for a drink that's light yet satisfying, crisp yet comforting.

In winter, when festive gatherings call, Poro offers a brighter choice. Its Arctic-inspired coolness refreshes without overwhelming—ideal for cosy nights by the fire or cheerful celebrations. Forget the fullness of a lager; Poro's effervescence keeps things lively.

Come spring, as British countryside walks and outdoor brunches beckon, Poro's portability shines. Pop a chilled 330ml can in your bag for a picnic in the Peak District or a park gathering in Birmingham. The citrus burst evokes fresh mornings, while the subtle gin warmth nods to longer evenings ahead. Its universal appeal means blokes and ladies alike reach for it—men love its no-fuss refreshment after a gym session or footy game, women appreciate the elegant fizz for brunches or catch-ups.

Summer? Poro was born for it. Finland's "Long Drink" tradition, sparkling grapefruit and gin, was designed for sunny days, and it translates perfectly to barbecues and festivals. Serve it ice-cold at garden parties in Kent or beach days in Brighton. Lighter than cider or stout, it quenches without bloating, letting you enjoy the fun longer. Bartenders across Manchester and Leeds are already mixing Poro highballs as a gin grapefruit cocktail alternative to heavier G&Ts.

And autumn? As harvest festivals and half-term escapes arrive in the Cotswolds, Poro bridges the gap—its grapefruit tang pairs brilliantly with crisp air and seasonal vibes. No wonder searches for "Finnish long drink UK" and "Poro Long Drink near me" are spiking; Brits are discovering it's more than a seasonal sip.

Poro vs. Beer: The Smarter, All-Occasion Switch

Fancy switching up from the usual beers? Poro Long Drink stands out as a refreshing beer alternative that's inclusive and adaptable. At 330ml, it's a familiar size—same as your standard lager can—but with half the heaviness. No bitter aftertaste, just pure refreshment.

  • For beer lovers: The gin's botanical edge mirrors IPA hops, while grapefruit soda delivers that crisp bite without the carbs. Perfect for football watch parties in Liverpool or golf outings in Wales.
  • For casual sippers: Ladies and gents alike find it approachable—no strong alcohol burn, just balanced flavours that suit pre-dinner drinks or lively afternoons.
  • Health-conscious choice: Lower calories than many ales, naturally gluten-free elements from the soda base, and that Arctic purity from Finnish spring water.

Blokes grabbing a post-work drink? Ladies at a summer festival in Glastonbury? Everyone from friends at a BBQ to grandparents enjoys the fizz.

Versatile Serves for Every British Lifestyle

Poro's magic lies in its simplicity—no shaker needed. Crack open a can straight from the fridge for instant gratification, or elevate it:

  1. Classic Chilled: Over ice with a grapefruit wedge—your post-Dry January treat.
  2. Highball Twist: Top with soda for a longer summer serve at UK festivals.
  3. Cocktail Hack: Mix with tonic for a gin grapefruit spritz, rivaling trendy London bars.
  4. Batch for Parties: Pitcher-style for wedding receptions or birthday bashes anywhere in the UK.
