Don’t let your pumpkin guts go to waste. Save the seeds and bake them for an awesome snack. Use the flesh to make puree or pumpkin juice, or even eat it raw. Check for recipes online. You can also freeze pumpkin and use it later to make sides, pies and other holiday desserts.

The Monster Martini is how you keep it classy and spooky on Halloween night.

2 oz. SKYY Citrus
Splash of white cranberry Juice

Drop in a tiny piece of dry ice for a spookier presentation, but, be careful. Dry ice bites!
