Holly Brook, the brand's owner, said: "I know these boozy candy canes will make the perfect gift or cocktail accompaniment the infuse drinks this Christmas, but there are only limited number so gin and prosecco lovers are encouraged to reserve their pack now.

"Backers can get you hands on them for as little as £5, but we have options to all the way to £1,000 on Kickstarter, which will get you 1,000 boozy candy canes of your own invention.

"The sky's the limit.

"Rewards in-between include wedding favours, corporate gifts and a candy cane cocktail making class."

Non-alcoholic unicorn candyfloss flavoured candy canes in pastel colours are also available.
