It's super easy to whip up Mary Berry's classic Scottish cranachan. Hold back some of the crunchy oats and raspberries for a pretty topping, but don't hold back on the whisky!

The inspiration for this key lime pie is the classic partnership of gin and lime; chocolate and lime is another great pairing – think of chocolate lime sweets. If you choose chocolate biscuits for the base, don’t be tempted to skip the lime cordial glaze or the chocolate flavour will overwhelm the filling. If you want to use more gin for the glaze, increase the gelatine to 4 leaves.

Inspired by their travels in Eastern Europe the Hairy Bikers give New York style cheesecake a Polish twist with vodka infused strawberries.

This is one of those dark, squidgy-bellied chocolate cakes that I turn to gratefully when I have friends over to supper; a gratitude that is always reciprocated. The mixture of ground almonds and amaretto gives a marzipan kick, balancing the bitterness of the chocolate. The amaretti cream alongside brings both smoothness and a fine honeycomb crunch to the velvetiness of the cake. 

Equipment: You will need a 20cm/8in springform cake tin.

free-range eggs,

tbsp cocoa powder,

tbsp amaretto liqueur

250 milliliters/9fl oz double cream

I have never tried using regular instant coffee granules in place of the instant espresso powder stipulated, though I dare say if you boosted quantities and dissolved the granules in a little boiling water first, you could make it work for you.
