Luxe Amaretto Sunrise

This delightful cocktail, known as the Lunchbox, was invented by Edna Scott of Edna's Club & Restaurant in Oklahoma City. Originally created by accident, this low-brow drink requires specific instructions, such as using Coors Light beer and chilling the glassware. The combination of amaretto, Coors Light beer, and a splash of orange juice creates a surprising and refreshing taste experience.
