Makes slightly more than 1 gallon (18¾ cups). Start to finish: 7 minutes.
1 can (46 ounces) pineapple juice, chilled 1 can (12 ounces) frozen lemonade concentrate 1 lemonade can (12 ounces) water 1 quart cranberry juice cocktail, chilled 2 bottles (750 ml each) champagne, chilled, see Cook's note
Combine the pineapple juice and lemonade concentrate in a large container, such as a punch bowl, (see Cook's note). Fill the empty lemonade can with water and add it to the punch. Add the cranberry juice cocktail. Stir until the lemonade concentrate thaws and the mixture is well combined.
Just before serving, stir in the champagne.
Cook's note: To mix the punch, you will need a 5-quart or larger container. If you do not have a punch bowl, mix the punch in a stockpot or other large pot and before serving, transfer the punch to an attractive pitcher (in batches as your pitcher size allows). For a non-alcoholic version of the punch, add 2 liters of lemon-lime soda pop (such as 7UP) instead of the champagne.

BLOODY EYEBALL MARTINIS ON THE ROCKS

per eyeball:
1 radish
1 pimiento stuffed green olive

per drink:
1 shot gin or vodka
1/4 shot dry vermouth (more or less to taste)

Prepare ice "eyeballs" at least a day before your plan to use them. Peel radishes, leaving thin streaks of red skin on to represent blood vessels. Using the tip of the vegetable peeler or a small, knife, carefully scoop out a small hole in each radish, roughly the size of an olive. Stuff a green olive, pimiento side out, in each hole. Place 1 radish eyeball in each section of an empty ice cube tray. Pare the radishes down a bit to fit, if necessary. Fill the tray with water and freeze overnight.

To make drink, fill a tall cocktail glass with 3-4 eyeball ice cubes, add ingredients in the order given. Shake or stir, as is your preference.

SPICED PUMPKIN VODKA
Try this pumpkin-infused vodka in the Smashing Pumpkin Martini, or use it to invent a holiday cocktail of your own.

The bar at Fifty Seven Fifty Seven in New York City, where it was created, uses a liter-sized  bottle to hold the vodka-pumpkin mixture while it steeps.

1/2 cups (350 ml) cinnamon vodka
3/4 cup (175 ml) vanilla vodka
3/4 cup (175 ml) vodka
2 whole vanilla beans
2 cups raw pumpkin meat, cut into 1/4-inch slices

Combine vodkas in bottle or other glass container. Add pumpkin meat and vanilla beans and let sit for 1 week. If necessary, when mixing cocktails strain the vodka as you pour it into the shaker. Consider using toasted pumpkin seeds or some of the vodka-soaked pumpkin as garnish.
Fills a one-liter bottle (a scant quart).

SMASHING PUMPKIN MARTINI

This spicy, pumpkin-infused cocktail would make a delightful aperitif from Halloween through Christmas. It was created by Felix Albano, manager of the bar at Fifty Seven Fifty Seven in New York City.

3 ounces spiced pumpkin vodka
1 ounce Amaretto

Garnish: toasted pumpkin seeds

For pumpkin seeds: Heat a large heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot. Toast pumpkin seeds, stirring constantly, until they expand and begin to pop, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer seeds to a plate to cool.
For Martini: In a shaker filled with ice, stir spiced pumpkin vodka and Amaretto. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.  Serves 1.
