We’ve nailed the mix, so you don’t have to.

Some drinks try too hard. Poro Long Drink doesn’t. It’s the kind of refreshment that feels instantly familiar, even if you’ve never tried a Finnish long drink before: crisp gin, bright grapefruit, a gentle sparkle, and a flavour that stays clean from the first sip to the last.

If you’ve been searching for a proper long drink in the UK, this is where the conversation gets interesting. The Finnish long drink, known at home as lonkero, has a brilliant backstory. It was first created for the 1952 Helsinki Olympics, when organisers needed a fast, refreshing serve for crowds arriving in the Finnish capital. What started as a practical solution became a national classic, thanks to its simple formula: gin, citrus, and soda.

That same winning formula is exactly why the category has become so appealing today.

People want drinks that are easy to enjoy, not over-complicated. They want something light, distinctive, and genuinely refreshing. And they want a ready-to-drink option that fits real life, from a sunny afternoon in the park to a relaxed evening at home.

Poro Long Drink brings that Finnish tradition to the UK with a modern edge. It’s made with real gin and natural flavours, and it’s designed to be crisp, cool, and effortlessly drinkable. At 5.5% ABV and low kcal per can, it offers the balance many drinkers are looking for: full flavour without feeling heavy. That makes it a strong alternative to beer, cider, or a sugary cocktail when you want something a bit more interesting.

What sets Poro apart is its confidence. It doesn’t need dressing up. It knows what it is: a Finnish long drink made for the British way of unwinding. You can crack one open straight from the can, pour it over ice, or enjoy it in a tall glass when you want to make more of the moment. However you serve it, the result is the same, clean, bright refreshment with a Nordic twist.
