Pommac is a legendary, 100 years old soft drink originally from Sweden, but has also been manufactured in Finland since forever. It has traditionally been the non-alcoholic replacement for sparkling wine in many parties and events. It's a mixed fruit drink, with the peculiarity that it's allowed to mature in oak barrels for months. Pommac does contain also apple juice, so you might want to avoid it, unless you are really curious.
The brandy one is also the original long drink, that and the grapefruit one were both made for the Olympics. The grapefruit one was a success and it became popular drink in Finland. They recently brought the brandy long drink back to market.
The brandy long drink was too successful actually. The officials feared that it was too crushable, and it would turn the whole population into alcoholics, so they banned the drink totally. Same thing with the original Salmiakki Vodka. These drink only came back in the end of '90.
Tornio distillery has some nice long drink flavours as well. They have cloudberry, bilberry, rowanberry and crowberry also season flavour of seabuckthorn. Personally I have tasted cloudberry and crowberry both of which I liked. Shaman spirits (laplabdia label) has different flavoured vodkas. Kyrö distillery has nice gins and some long drinks, but haven't tasted those myself.
If you are looking for a beer to try out, it's not Finnish but To Øl from Denmark you can buy in ALKO is amazing. Even the To Øl Implosion Non-Alcoholic is really nice.
You forgot orange,lemon and cassis flavours. Also there is very good other manufacturers, for example: Laitilan Brandy Long Drink, Helsinki Long Drink Gin&Pink Grapefruit, Iisalmi Gin Cowberry. Nice video though!

to make it properly: get Jaloviina aka Jallu (*) ja mix it with Pommac. The proper JalluPommac. mixing ratio Jallu 1 : 4 Pommac, for example.
Interesting thats for the insight!

I think that was a good decision!

@@tubelious Wow thats crazy! I'm glad they came back but!
The brandy long drink doesn't mask the brandy as well. Do try Pommac, though, it's pretty nice.
The Brandy is too sweet and has low CO2.
Your vids are getting better and better man, keep at it!
I cant wait to have you in them brother!
cheers

Thanks I will give that a try 👌
I really like the Lime lonkero. :) I get headace from the normal one. But mostly I like beer, Karhu to be exact.
Do you like the mid or heavy strength karhu?
@@AussieFin the one you can by from food stores. 😁
Is it the grapefruit or the gin?
@@blechtic what do you mean? Where the headace come from or do you mean something else?
Pommac is a grape fizzy drink, the taste somehow resembles a champagne a bit
ok Interesting, Thanks!
With a touch of oak
@@ChristianLax-gh5tubecause of the barrels, I assume.

Thanks I will have to try all of them! Im glad you enjoyed 🙏
Pommac is a good soda but it doesn’t go well with alcohol, in my opinion.
Thanks I will need to do an updated video on these cheers 😊
I like the original blue one and cranberry :P
Ok nice choice 😀
Best lonkero is Helsinki Long Drink pink grapefruit🤘
I don't mid that one either!
Aspartam is not good for you, even when you want to get drunk.
If a drink is too sweet, add more booze (maybe some sparkling water too).
