Thirsty Thursday: Spring Cocktails at The Parish (PHOTOS)

Apr 17, 20253 min read

The Parish at 6453 N. Oracle Rd. recently released their latest seasonal drink menu for the spring season.

This lineup of spring-ready sippers ranges from bold and smoky to floral and fruity, with something for every kind of cocktail lover. A mezcal kick, a garden-fresh gin fizz, and a booze-free refresher — that’s a snapshot of what’s going on behind the bar at The Parish this season.

Stop by soon and give ’em a try before they’re gone! Also, two of these are non-alcoholic concoctions.

Keep scrolling to see all of the pretty photos.

Seasonal Cocktails (Spring 2025)

Lady In Red

“A sultry stunner with a little smoky mystery. 400 Conejos Mezcal, Campari, strawberry-habanero tequila, fresh lime, agave, and housemade raspberry syrup swirl together in a stemmed goblet — kissed with a pinch of salt and topped with whole strawberries and frozen raspberries. Sweet, spicy, and oh-so-sassy.”

Magnolia in May

“Spring’s most elegant bloom. Valencia gin gets cozy with lavender honey syrup, lemon juice, and a touch of saline in a tall Collins glass. Crowned with a Crème de Violette foam and a scatter of edible petals — it’s a cocktail and a bouquet in one.”

Orange Grove & Oceanside

“Like a beach day and brunch had a very tropical baby. Banana-infused dark rum, citrus juices, prickly pear tea, passion fruit syrup, orange flower water, and a hint of banana liqueur — garnished with dried banana chips and a sprig of mint. You’ll want to drink it barefoot.”

My Last Sunrise

“Think of it as a Bellini’s bold older cousin — sophisticated, peachy, and just a touch rebellious. Old Overholt rye, peach syrup, lemon, ginger liqueur, and fortified zinfandel come together in a double old-fashioned glass. Garnished with a lemon twist and a juicy slice of peach, it’s sunrise with a punch.”

Rosie Lee Tea (NA)

“Proof that a cocktail doesn’t need booze to be beautiful. This refreshing zero-proof sip blends lemon, peach syrup, muddled mint, and Gold Peak green tea in a decorative pint, finished with a lemon wheel and mint leaves. Sweet, citrusy, and tea-liciously zen.”

Blackberry Lychee Mule

“A playful twist on the classic mule. Lychee syrup, blackberry syrup, lime, fresh blackberries, and zingy ginger beer come together in a copper mug. Garnished with two bold blackberries — it’s floral, fruity, and just the right amount of fizzy.”

More about Matt

At 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.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
