The folks at Martha Stewart Living are giving you the chance to win the perfect Halloween costume, with the help of your very own: ‘Make Your Own Drink’ kit.

Stephen Colbert’s 44 gallon pet soda (a mere 5,616 ounces over Mayor Bloomberg’s proposed beverage-size limit) is the creation of Brendan Hurley, ‘The Colbert Report‘s’ prop whisperer. Brendan has penned step-by-step instructions for creating his basic cable masterpiece.
