Refreshing Strong

ランチ・ボックスはビール3/4パイントにアマレット1ショットとオレンジジュース1オンスをパイントグラスに入れたカジュアルなビールカクテルです。アマレットがナッツのアーモンドの甘さを加え、オレンジジュースはラガーベースに軽いシトラスの明るさを加えます。グループポーアとして作られることが多い、親しみやすく社交的な飲み物です。

History & Origins

The Lunch Box is an American bar drink, origin disputed, that gained popularity in the 1980s and 1990s as a simple, fun twist on a standard beer. The concept of dropping a shot of amaretto into beer reflects the broader depth-charge cocktail trend of that era. Its name suggests the nostalgic comfort of everyday pleasures given a slight upgrade.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Malty beer with a sweet almond note from the amaretto and faint fresh orange. Palate: Light and refreshing with malt bitterness, nutty almond sweetness, and gentle citrus brightness from the orange juice. Finish: Clean and slightly sweet with lingering amaretto warmth.

Pro Tip

Fill the pint glass almost full with beer first, then gently add the orange juice, and drop the amaretto shot last to create a layered visual effect.
