The long drink format was invented for the 1952 Helsinki Olympics, when Finnish bars needed to serve crowds fast. The solution: pre-mix spirit with grapefruit soda and pour it straight. It stuck. A. Le Coq's non-alcoholic version strips out the gin but keeps the same grapefruit-forward formula. In the can it's pale gold with a lively fizz. There's grapefruit peel on the nose, a faint floral edge, and citrus zest. It tastes citrus-forward with that characteristic bitterness from the pith cutting through a light sweetness. The carbonation is brisk, which keeps it from sitting heavy. Finish is short and clean with a bit of citrus tang hanging on. It's the kind of drink that makes sense cold, in volume. Not complex, not trying to be.
