The countdown to Christmas is over, all of the windows on the advent calendar have been flung open and if you’ve been nice, then Mr Claus may even shimmy down your chimney tonight.

But even if you’ve been rather naughty this year, here is a tipple that’s sure to put some sparkle into your tinsel — The Countdown Carousel.

This festive Champagne cocktail has been created by the team at the Stables Bar at Kensington’s Milestone Hotel and is well worth unwrapping.

It’s an effervescent mix of Broken Clock Vodka and Amaro Santoni lengthened with Champagne and spritzed with a Douglas Fir mist for hint of fresh cut Christmas tree — even if most of the needles have fallen into off yours by now.

Wishing you an awfully english Christmas from Broken Clock!
