Cookies & Cocktails: Girls Scouts Cookie-Themed Drinks, Beers & Desserts

Feb 26, 20242 min read

Girl Scouts of Southern Arizona‘s signature event, Cookies & Cocktails, is happening from 6 – 8 p.m. on Thursday, March 28 at Corbett’s, 340 N. Sixth Ave.

Like prior Cookies & Cocktails events, there will be creative cocktails from the bar, cookie-infused beers from local breweries, and innovative cookie-themed treats from a handful of local restaurants participating in the Cookie Dessert Challenge.

You can vote on your favorite dessert, spin the “Wine Wheel,” test your luck with raffle prizes, and sip on a limited-run cocktail from the bar crew at Corbett’s.

All proceeds from the evening will benefit local girls in our staff-supported program, ensuring that all girls can experience the power of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. This applies to everyone, no matter the obstacles that our changing world brings, including girls in foster care, girls impacted by incarceration, girls experiencing poverty, and girls who otherwise would not have the opportunity.

Where to Find Girl Scouts Cookies in Tucson

It’s officially Girl Scouts Cookie season and you’ve likely interacted with them set up outside of businesses here in Tucson. They’re currently using a hybrid model of online ordering and then traditional in-person selling. Lucky for us, the Girl Scouts share their kn-person pop-up schedule online — making it even easier to support them.

“Cookie entrepreneurs in your community are ready to get you your favorites while earning money for activities with their troops.”

Corbett’s is located at 340 N. Sixth Ave. For more information and tickets, visit eventbrite.com.

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.

Anne Rysdale built @sheltercocktaillounge in 1961 with concrete walls, lava rock, and Cold War nerves. Today, owners Pam Santangelo and Kevin Breutzmann keep the Tucson bar exactly as regulars remember it. Inside, martinis share space with JFK memorabilia, a vintage atomic chandelier, and a suit of armor named Charlie. “Tucson is changing so much, but this has stayed the same. It’s a time capsule,” Santangelo said.
