From Fan to Investor
Miles first discovered The Finnish Long Drink in New York City, where co-founders Ere Partanen and Sakari Manninen were introducing curious locals to Finland’s iconic beverage. Captivated by the drink’s crisp, refreshing flavor and rich backstory, Miles didn’t just join the fan club—he became an investor.
“I think it’s the best in the market,” he says, praising its high-quality ingredients and unique heritage as a Finnish classic. Miles’ enthusiasm didn’t stop there; he traveled to Finland with the founders to dive deeper into its roots, solidifying his passion for bringing this beverage to the States.
Why Long Drink?
The Finnish Long Drink isn’t your average canned cocktail. Created for the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki, it’s been a staple in Finland for decades. Miles saw an opportunity to elevate this cultural icon in the U.S. market. Now available in over 34,000 locations nationwide, The Finnish Long Drink has grown into one of the country’s fastest-growing ready-to-drink brands. And Miles isn’t just watching from the sidelines—he’s taking an active role in the company’s growth, even leading a national marketing push to introduce more people to this “best canned beverage in the game.”
More Than a Celebrity Endorsement
What sets Miles apart from the usual celebrity investor? It’s his genuine connection to the product. This isn’t just a business move; it’s a passion project. With Miles on board, The Finnish Long Drink is poised for continued success.
So, the next time you crack open a Traditional Citrus or Cranberry Long Drink, know that Miles Teller is right there with you, sharing in the Finnish spirit. Cheers to that!
