There's nothing better than sitting back and enjoying a cocktail after a hard day's work. But how about a dessert hybrid version of your favourite boozy drink instead?

Once you bring out a platter of these adults-only treats, your friends and family will be calling you a mash-up magician thanks to these sinfully good cocktail confections.

We've rounded up BHG's top 3 best boozy dessert combinations for you to whip up in a flash. Whether you're after something sweet or zesty, we've got you covered for your next dinner party.

Combine your favourite pre- and post-dinner treats – an aperitif and dessert – for a tizzy take on trifle with a boozy jelly and glitzy gold garnish.

2. Margarita ice-cream

Sweet and zesty, the liquor is in the easy DIY ice-cream, which is teamed with a frozen lime granita. PS, the glass rims are dipped in minty sugar.

3. Mango daiquiri dessert

Layer sponge fingers, creamy custard and fresh mango, all drizzled with a daiquiri sauce, then top with spun toffee nests for a tropical cocktail treat.
