Carved Pumpkin to Festive Fall Beverage Service
This is so easy, so much fun and such a ‘wow’ addition to any fall gathering! This carved pumpkin is a great way to use up those pumpkins that are ordaining your yard and rocking your fall decor before you have toss them. So grab one large pumpkin off the porch, carve it out, line it with a plastic bag (I use a turkey oven bag), fill it with ice and add your beverages.
This fun pumpkin idea is great for adult beverages, kid-friendly drinks or creamers at a coffee station.
Did I mention you can prep this ahead? That’s right! Honestly, who has time to do this the day of an event, or on Thanksgiving or any gathering for that matter? Not me! So I tested this for you, you’re welcome, and prepared one…put it in the refrigerator and let it set for a week. The result? It looked just as good as the day I carved it. In fact, I used it at a fall bridal shower I hosted and filled it with flavored creamers at the coffee station. Everyone loved it! The only problem? I forgot to take pictures of the creamer filled pumpkin at that particular gathering. So, do me a favor…if you fill yours with flavored creamers, send me a pic!
Cheers to fall entertaing!
