Girl Scouts Invites the Community to Cookies, Cocktails, and Confections
September 30, 2024
Girl Scouts of Central Texas will host its third annual Cookies, Cocktails, and Confections fundraising event on October 29, 2024. At the event, six mixologists and four confectioners representing some of the Austin area’s favorite establishments will serve up their unique creations inspired by Girl Scout Cookie flavors, and guests will taste the results and vote for their favorites to be named “Best in Austin.” Ticket sales support the 19 percent of members served by Girl Scouts of Central Texas who live in households that struggle with economic security and can only participate with community support.
In preparation for Cookies, Cocktails, and Confections, mixologists and confectioners are assigned a Girl Scout Cookie flavor and are asked to create a custom recipe inspired by the cookie. Creativity abounds as the highly skilled mixologists and pastry chefs develop bespoke items for this event and serve them to guests. This year’s participants include:
Confectioners
- Ashley Cameron of Love & Cookies
- Krystal Craig of Intero
- Cinthya Romriell of Cinful Sweets
- Jennifer Webb of Hill Country Ranch Sweet Shop
Mixologists
- Cesar Severo Escovar, J.D. of CuLAWnary Arts
- Ashley Fric of Colleen’s Kitchen
- Amber Johnston of Speakeasy
- Tom Prince of The Ruby Bar
- Mitch Stevens of The Backspace
- Cody Vacante of Gracia Mediterranean
Goodnight Loving Vodka and Spirit of Texas Silver Rum will provide additional VIP guest cocktails.
“We’re honored by the creative energy and time these individuals put into supporting Girl Scouts of Central Texas at Cookies, Cocktails, and Confections. We enjoy discovering new interpretations of and pairings for Girl Scout Cookies every year. The results are truly delicious, and the Girl Scout experiences they support change lives,” said Phlice Gray, Girl Scouts of Central Texas Chief Development Officer.
