Long drinks and ready-to-serve (RTS) drinks are often sweet and cloudy, and their alcohol content ranges from 4% to 11%.
The base flavour is created by a strong alcoholic beverage, but some of these drinks are made using an alcohol base achieved by fermenting an extract, juice or wine. The main flavour is grapefruit, but since the history of these beverages is based on the drinks culture, the spectrum of flavours is very wide.
