Notes
1 1/2 oz gin In Finland, "Lonkero" refers to a ready-to-serve
gin and grapefruit soda cocktail, introduced in
1 cup good quality 1952 ahead of the Summer Olympics. At the
grapefruit soda (like time, Finland's state-controlled alcohol policy
allowed pre-mixed drinks for international
Villa Italia or Fevertree) visitors. Today, lonkero is available in stores,
restaurants, and even in the U.S. I prefer
making it at home with high-quality grapefruit
soda and a festive garnish like cranberries or
edible flowers. Bonus: It's just as tasty with
0.0% gin for an alcohol-free option!
