Don't know what its called.... But my favourite cocktail that I have had at Christmas is a champagne one.
You put an sugar cube in the bottom of a champagne flute, a measure of brandy and fill it up with champagne! |

"Snowball! Advocat and lemonade
Dont forget the lime
I'm not posh enough for lime 
It won't be that when you come down with scurvy."
Never before have I felt at risk of scurvy due to a lack of cocktails in my life  |
