Scarlet Harlot Recipe
Email
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 (rouge) version is sweet and rather rich; it can be found at most high-end liquor stores.

That's a really cool photo. I love the mountain scene/Ayers Rock background...
This looks like one I would be able to do but what about adding Ameretto instead of the orange bitters
