The cocktail with the most votes will be served at a reception held in Paris at the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization Headquarters on June 28. In addition, Award- winning Chef Janos Wilder will represent Tucson at the conference, and serve a signature dish to betoken the city’s culinary traditions.
So, which local cocktail will reign supreme? That’s completely up to the public. The event is $25 per person and that includes cocktail tastings, light hor’s d’oeuvres, and a voting ballot.
Bartenders interested in submitting a recipe must do so by Monday, May 22. Contest rules and instructions are availanble at carriagehousetucson.com/bartender.

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.
