Cherries and brandy are natural companions for classic cocktails like the Old Fashioned, but here a little Dubonnet rouge lends a touch of spice.

What to buy: Dubonnet blanc and rouge are wine-based liqueurs flavored with spices. The dark red version, Dubonnet rouge, is sweet and rather rich; it can be found at most high-end liquor stores.
