Drinks start-up Lonkero has launched in the UK, offering a spirit-based alternative to beer and cider.
A mix of gin, grapefruit, soda and lime with a pinch of pine and botanicals, Lonkero is a take on Finland’s national drink, which is rather unimaginatively known as the Finnish Long Drink.
Described as a “full-frontal Finnish experience,” it is aimed at festival goers, summer garden parties and those who fancy a refreshing change from the norm.
Joe Harris, Co-founder and Director of Lonkero, said: “We are delighted with the launch of our brand Lonkero, or as we like to call it ‘The Long Finnish’. We spotted a gap in the market for consumers who sought a pint-sized, refreshing alternative to beer or cider.”
Lonkero is available in six- and 12-packs of 440ml cans (ABV 5.5%) with RSPs of £17.99 and £29.99 respectively.
Retailers should visit the Lonkero website for stock enquiries.
