Refreshing Strong

午餐盒是一款将四分之三品脱啤酒、一份意大利杏仁酒和一盎司橙汁盛于品脱杯的休闲啤酒鸡尾酒。意大利杏仁酒增添了坚果杏仁的甜味，而橙汁则为拉格底味带来清爽的柑橘明亮感。这是一款亲切、社交性强的饮品，经常作为团体分享饮用。

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.
