Pumpkin Spice Martini

Here ’ s an idea for a Thanksgiving or holiday party centerpiece : a DIY pumpkin ice bucket . Entertaining and lifestyle influencer Eden Passante — known by her followers as Sugar & Charm — has teamed up with prosecco brand La Marca on some tips for fall / holiday entertaining .

Passante suggests filling the pumpkin ice bucket with 187-ml . bottles of La Marca , but minis of any sparkling wine will be fun and festive . Here ’ s how to make one .

1 Choose a large white pumpkin .

PRO TIP

2 Using pumpkin carving tools , start about 5 inches from the top and cut around the entire pumpkin . You want the opening of the pumpkin to be large to fit a medium bowl .

3 Remove the top of the pumpkin and then scoop out all of the seeds and gooeyness !

4 Grab a medium bowl that will fit inside the pumpkin . Using the carving tool , cut around the inside of the pumpkin rim if you need more room to fit the bowl . 5 Once the bowl is in place , fill it with crushed ice . 6 Place mini bottles of prosecco or any sparkling wine in the ice to cool . 7 Refill the ice periodically throughout the party .

Here ’ s a seasonal prosecco cocktail from Sugar & Charm ; to make as a punch , change oz . to cups .

¼ oz . Gin 1 oz . Pomegranate juice ¼ oz . Rosemary ginger simple syrup * 3 oz . La Marca prosecco

Combine ingredients in a glass with ice . Garnish with rosemary sprigs and pomegranate seeds .

* For Rosemary ginger simple syrup : Combine 1 cup water , 1 cup sugar , 2 fresh rosemary sprigs , 2 tbsp . fresh ginger , peeled , in a saucepan . Bring to a soft boil for 3 minutes . Turn the heat to low and simmer for another 10 minutes so the flavors can infuse and the sugar can melt .
