Neat, right?! Dry ice will add a major spook factor to your signature cocktail. Just make sure you’re brushed up on the following Dry Ice Safety FAQ: One, always use food-safe dry ice. Two, never touch dry ice with your bare hands. We recommend handling with heavy-duty gloves, an oven mitt, or with tongs. Three, never ingest a dry ice cube. Let it melt completely before you drink your beverage.

7. Serve these darling mummy pizzas.
