Blanc vermouths are extremely versatile when it comes to mixing drinks. However, they can still be used in a Dry Martini or a Vesper for a touch of sweetness to round out the drink, or in a Manhattan for a slightly drier version of the cocktail. Blanc vermouths are also fantastic when served straight up, over ice, or in a Highball with seltzer, among other things.
