Every girl and guy needs the one drink that caters to their alcoholic taste for the month. As ampersand’s certified bartender, I have a few highball recipes that will keep your Halloween spirits alive.

A Killer Kool Aid for Him

Also called a Jim Jones, this drink is for 151 risk-takers. Kudos to your high tolerance.

½ ounce of Vodka — well or top shelf, your choice
½ ounce Amaretto liqueur
½ ounce Midori liqueur
½ ounce Blackberry Brandy
½ ounce of Bacardi® 151 Rum
Fill rest of glass with cranberry juice

A new twist on an old favorite. Test out this version of a Long Island with your girlfriends.

One Collins glass filled with ice
½ ounce of Vodka
½ ounce of Gin
½ ounce of Tequila
½ ounce of Rum
½ ounce of Triple Sec
Add  sour mix, but leave room
Roll the contents into a mixer glass and back into the Collins glass
Add a splash of Chambord® liqueur
Garnish with a lemon wedge

And as always, drink responsibly.
