The Baileys provides a little more depth of flavour than the traditional cream, while retaining that thick, creamy mouthfeel.
This is going to be a sugar-laden drink and I make no apologies about that, but even I have my limits. I kept the brandy as the base liquor, but I do suggest using a dry one. I wanted to take that decadence and ratchet it up to 11. However, even this isn’t exactly the stuff that would tempt even the most purehearted like the Darkest Dungeon can. It’s a dessert cocktail, and is generally considered an occasional decadent treat. The Ancestor’s Temptation was originally based on a Brandy Alexander, which consists of equal parts brandy, cream and white creme de cacao. Like your creamy drinks? Try Joy from We Happy Few next. Something rich, something powerful, something that always brought you back for more, more, MORE… I wanted to replicate this temptation by creating a drink that imbibers would know is bad for them, but couldn’t stop from sipping anyway. Ultimately, the Ancestor fell prey to temptation physical, mental and spiritual. He delved too deep into things that man was not meant to know, and awoke something that should have been left sleeping. His riches and ambition created a deadly combination of hubris and curiosity. This Ancestor wasn’t exactly the most pure of people. While the various heroes that arrive at the Hamlet have their own reasons for delving into the deep and the dark, the players of Darkest Dungeon appear for one reason alone: to answer the call of their distant Ancestor. But even the best men would fall to the unending temptation that assailed my mind-whispers… whispers from the shadows… whispers with promises.” – Ancestor’s Memoirs, page 347
