Hartwall Original Long Drink (stylised as oriGINal) is a brand of long drink produced by the Finnish brewery Hartwall.
Hartwall first produced long drink in 1952 when Alko ordered Gin Long Drink and Brandy Long Drink from the brewery. Hartwall has sold lonkero under the Original Long Drink brand since 1995 when production of the beverage was opened for everyone. From 1979 to 1994 Gin Long Drink was produced for Alko by the breweries Mallasjuoma and Sinebrychoff. The beverage is still produced under the original recipe from Finnish gin, water and grapefruit juice. The gin is distilled specifically for the Hartwall Original Long Drink, and all its ingredients are picked by hand to ensure the best possible quality. The alcohol content of the beverage is 5.5% by volume, but there is also a lighter version with 2.6% alcohol, a Strong version with 7.5% alcohol and an alcohol-free version.
