The fast food chain have transformed their popular sauce into alcoholic drinks to replicate some of the country's favourite beverages, including the Bloody Mary - which has been renamed The Gravy Mary, the Finger Lickin' Sour and The Southern Twist.

The cocktails have been inspired by the growing trend for stocktails - a meaty cocktail made with broth and booze.

Marion Racine, Marketing Manager at KFC UK & Ireland said: ''Our fans repeatedly express their love for our gravy, which always sparks ideas within the team.

''We know our gravy is good enough to drink - so with stocktails being a real hit at the moment, what better ingredient to take them to the next level?''

Patrick, expert mixologist, added: ''When KFC came to me with the idea of creating genuine gravy cocktails, based on the growing trend of stocktails, I just couldn't resist.

''The key was to find flavours and ingredients which perfectly complimented the distinctive taste of KFC gravy.

''For example, the Kentucky bourbon in The Southern Twist brings mellow, sweet spice notes to stand up against the savoury gravy.

''The herbal note of parsley on the rim brightens the sip with the brown sugar softening the kick of bourbon and uniting the flavours.''
