Bethenny Frankel knows that Halloween isn’t just for kids – this year, the Skinnygirl mogul would love to share some of her tricks and treats to help put you in the “spirit” with Skinnygirl® Cocktails. Don’t let your fear of hosting haunt you, check out these tips to ensure your Halloween prep is anything but scary.
· Coordinate your costume with a complimentary cocktail paring! Dressing up is one of Bethenny’s favorite Halloween events and if you and your gal pals plan on donning your favorite witchy costumes, why not complete the themed ensemble with a glass of Hocus Pocus Punch? Or sip on a refreshing glass of Piña Ghoul-ada should you choose to channel your inner glam-pire.
· Hosting a pumpkin carving party? Don’t toss those “guts” just yet. Bethenny is all about smart choices when it comes to snacking. Drizzle the pumpkin seeds with olive oil and your favorite sweet or savory spices (try cinnamon sugar or cayenne pepper) and bake. Voila! You’ve got a tasty treat straight from the entertaining guru herself.
· Maintain that “ghoulish” figure by skipping the temptation of the candy bar in favor of a healthy Halloween Snack ‘O Lantern while enjoying a Fright-tini.
