Perfect Date

Wondering what would make a Perfect Manhattan even more perfect, I decided to infuse the rye whiskey with dates and call the final cocktail a Perfect Date. I used my whipped cream charger to do a rapid infusion and the results were delicious. The addition of the dry vermouth and the extra dashes of bitters help balance the sweetness from the dates. While not exactly perfect, it’s still a Perfect Manhattan.
