The drink was created for the 1952 Helsinki Summer Olympics. Finland, still recovering from World War II, wanted a signature beverage that could be served quickly to the influx of visitors.

Originally produced by Helsinki-based beverage company Hartwall, the drink grew so popular that soon it was a staple served on tap in bars.
