- Green Floral leaves

Pumpkin Drink Dispenser
Supplies:
- Pumpkin
- Keg Tapping Kit
- Pumpkin Carving Kit
Instructions:
- Choose a rather round, uniform pumpkin. Make sure it sits evenly without tipping to one side or another.
- Rinse off any excess dirt and dry well with paper towels.
- With a pen or fine marker, outline the top where you will be cutting your lid.
- Much like carving a jack-o-lantern, cut the top and empty the seeds and pulp.
- Using coring tool provided in keg tapping kit, cut out your keg tap hole. Avoid putting your tap too low, as you'll have a hard time getting the glasses and cups under the spigot for pouring. Find an even spot about halfway up the side of the pumpkin.
- Carefully insert the tap, as directed with the silicone seal on the outside and the locking nut on the inside of the pumpkin.
- Fill with your beverage of choice.
