Long drink vs. high ball[edit]

could someone please explain the difference and put this in context? --unsigned by 85.177.153.184 at 18:27, 17 July 2008

Done. (Anyone care to elaborate on Finland's importance? I must admit that I find the conclusion slightly baffling.) --Preceding unsigned comment added by Beastmouth (talk/contribs) 14:43, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To my knowledge the English speaking world knows only the highball. Some other parts of the world use the word Longdrink for the same thing, and erroneously think it's an English word.

The article shuld be deleted. A sentence in the highball article to the effect that a highball is called Longdrink in some places should be enough. --BjKa (talk) 11:55, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I proposed a content split (see below) but perhaps we should put a sentence in the highball article and then do a disambiguation link to an article on the Finnish lonkero? Although that might be too cumbersome for the highball article. Magic1million (talk) 19:49, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong Picture[edit]

Kurko Long Drink contains no gin. Hartwall Original Long Drink is the one what should be in the picture. --Lalli (talk) 18:44, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Jpatokal (talk) 06:34, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Move Finnish Lonkero to New Article?[edit]

This article seems to combine two related, but separate things into one article: (1) the term "long drink" as a generic description for a group of cocktails and (2) the Finnish lonkero. Although the lonkero is a kind of long drink, I think it is really its own separate thing at this point. I propose that the article be split in two - one for the generic term and one for the "long drink" in a Finnish style. Magic1million (talk) 21:30, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed Content Split[edit]

I am proposing that this article be split in two. The generic term "long drink" is separate from the Finnish lonkero, whose development currently takes up an outsized proportion of this article. In the same way that Tom Collins is a kind of long drink that gets its own page, the Finnish Long Drink should have a page of its own. As it is now, we have a very brief description of the generic concept of a long drink (probably appropriate, given what the topic is) and then an article about the development of the lonkero. Better to have two articles.Magic1million (talk) 21:13, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Finnish lonkero split off[edit]

It was about time this article was split. Over two thirds of the content was about the Finnish lonkero. It has now been moved to its own article lonkero. JIP | Talk 19:25, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
