Can I substitute a different type of cream for the cream in a Dirty Mother cocktail?

What occasions are most suitable for serving a Dirty Mother cocktail?
A Dirty Mother cocktail, with its rich and bold flavors from coffee liqueur and tequila, is most suitable for evening gatherings or after-dinner drinks. Its robust profile makes it a great choice for cocktail parties, adult celebrations, or as a sophisticated end to a dinner party.
Should the ingredients of a Dirty Mother cocktail be shaken or stirred?
