Can I substitute Bailey's in the Black Forest Gateau cocktail with another type of alcohol?

What are some garnishing ideas for the Black Forest Gateau cocktail?
To visually enhance the Black Forest Gateau, consider garnishing with a maraschino cherry or a sprinkle of grated chocolate on top. A small swirl of whipped cream could also mimic the dessert's creamy texture, making the drink not only tastier but also more visually appealing.
