- Course: Beverage

Summary:
This Manhattan variation calls for white, or unaged, whiskey (also known as "white dog"), of which there are more and more brands on the market. Death's Door brand is available at Ace Beverage in Northwest (202-966-4444).
Be sure to use bianco or blanc vermouth, such as Dolin Blanc; its aromatics and flavor are very different from those of dry vermouth.
