A fruity Sweet Manhattan that's perfect when you fancy some late-night spirited fruitiness. Eponymously named after the Rolling Stone's song, this is a riff on the classic Eastern Sin.
The cocktail was introduced to the public in 1974, devised by the importer of Amaretto di Saronno as a simple mix of two parts amaretto liqueur to one part lemon juice. It became a popular cocktail in the 1980s; most bartenders at the time substituted commercial sour mix for the lemon juice. The drink was popular as a one-dimensional easy-drinking cocktail, flavored mostly by the base spirit used.
