Postino, one of the city’s favorite Happy Hour spots, has introduced handcrafted cocktails to its bar menu at 2500 E. Grant Rd. #112.
It’s a pretty big deal since the wine bar (and beer) has been known for just that (its extensive wine list) since opening 23 years ago. Fans of the regional restaurant that opened its doors in Tucson in early 2020 can now sip on “unique riffs” on classic cocktails.
The new cocktails include the Tré Cucumber, Classic G&T, Aperol Spritz, Negroni, Smoked Old Fashioned, and the Prickly Pear Mezcal Margarita. Also, and for a limited time, an Espresso Martini is on the menu.
“Postino has always been known for our ever-changing selection of craft wines and beers that are affordable, unpretentious, and fun,” said Brent Karlicek, Vice President of Beverage at Upward Projects. “We wanted to take the same approach with our first-ever cocktail menu, offering a mix of both timeless classics and fresh, innovative drinks such as our dangerously refreshing Tré Cucumber.
“Most importantly, each cocktail is designed to pair perfectly with our food menu and to bring spirited fun to your next Postino visit,” said Karlicek.
All of the named cocktails are now available at all Postino locations in Arizona.
Postino is located at 2500 E. Grant Rd. For more information, visit postinowinecafe.com.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
