Long drink

Short drinks are generally stronger since both types tend to contain the same amount of alcohol.

A classic long drink is a Tom Collins.

A simple style of long drink is the highball, a cocktail composed of one liquor and one mixer (excluding garnish or ice).

In Finland, long drink (in Finnish lonkero) refers to a very popular mixed drink made from gin and a mixer, traditionally grapefruit soda, though many other flavours (almost always fruit) are available.

It is ubiquitously available in Finnish stores, bars, and restaurants, and has more recently started becoming available in international markets.
