The Finnish Long Drink – the incredibly refreshing sparkling citrus drink with real liquor, built on the heritage of the legendary Finnish alcohol category of long drinks – is pleased to announce that actor Miles Teller will be taking a larger ownership stake and increasing his investment in the brand, which he has helped build a presence for in the United States as a Co-Owner.

Entering 2023, The Finnish Long Drink currently stands as the fourth most popular ready to drink brand in the country having a banner year reaching over a million cases sold, with the mission of establishing long drinks as a staple stateside, as it is in Finland.
Teller’s ties with The Finnish Long Drink started after he stumbled upon a sampling at an East Village liquor store with Co-Founders and native Finns, Ere Partanen and Sakari Manninen, and loved it so much that he sparked a relationship with the brand. Excited about the prospect of bringing the historic drink to life, Teller went to Finland, along with the other Co-Founders, Evan Burns and Mikael Taipale, to learn more.
“I became an investor in The Finnish Long Drink because I think it’s the best in the market and has an authentic backstory. It’s high quality stuff and I think consumers deserve a product that’s this good and refreshing,” says Teller. “Now that we are available in over 34,000 locations and most major chains, I wanted to lead an investment that will further our growth, help us advertise nationally, and get the word out about The Finnish Long Drink – the best canned beverage in the game.”
