The season for Girl Scout cookies is upon us again. Finally! With each passing year, supporting the organization by purchasing a box (or like, 20) of cookies has gotten easier and easier. You can now purchase Girl Scouts cookies online, which just enables our sweet tooth even more.
The 2024 Girl Scout cookie season calls for a toast that would make even the most mischievous Girl Scout blush. So, why not go for a boozy sip inspired by our favorite seasonal treats? Here are 14 Girl Scout cookie cocktails that are sure to earn you a mixology badge.
The Dirty Girl Scout: Chocolate Mint Beer Float
Stout beer highlights the rich chocolate flavor in this Thin Mint-inspired beer float. It's reminiscent of the old-school diner malted milkshakes you had as a kid, except this float is all grown up – just like you. (via The Beeroness)
Thin Mint Jelly Shots
If Thin Mints got dressed up to go to a wild house party, these jelly shots are what they would look like. These three-layer beauties, which you'll definitely want to make ahead of time, will be the life of your St. Patrick's Day party. (via Tablespoon)
Boozy Samoa Latte
Here's your new go-to weekend brunch drink. This Girl Scout cookie-spiked latte is just the treat you need after a long week. It's got coffee, vodka and sugar. What more could you want? (via Real Housemoms)
Thin & Minty
With notes of Thin Mints, this Girl Scout cookies cocktail can double as dessert. To make it, shake 1 oz Kahlua, 0.5 oz creme de menthe, and a splash of half and half over ice before straining into an icy glass rimmed with chocolate. Delish! (via Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City, NJ)
Boozy Thin Mint Milkshake
This sweet, adults-only milkshake takes only four ingredients to make and is a must to share with your girls. As long as chocolate is involved in a Girl Scout cookie cocktail, we're there. (via Freutcake)
Spiked Do-Si-Do Milkshake
It's some kind of sorcery that a combo of Frangelico and Chambord tastes just like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Whip these cookie milkshakes up for an after-dinner treat, or leave out the booze and serve 'em to the whole family. (via Serious Eats)
Naughty Girl Scout Cocktail
When a drink takes just three ingredients and five minutes to make, it might just become your go-to for a DIY happy hour. Add a sprig of mint to this Thin Mint drink to take your cocktail garnish game to the next level. (via Love Bakes Good Cakes)
Samoa Martini
This Samoa martini is straight-up dessert in a martini glass. Don't skip out on the toasted coconut and full Girl Scout cookie garnish! (via Simple Joy)
Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookie Cocktail
No Thin Mints were harmed in the making of this cocktail. In fact, no Thin Mints are in this cocktail at all — it just tastes exactly like the iconic cookie, thanks to the addition of peppermint schnapps and Kahlua. (via Chantilly)
Trefoil Old Fashioned
Looks can be deceiving, and from the looks of this Girl Scout cookie cocktail, you'd never guess it tastes like a Trefoil. This spirit-forward drink gets its cookie-esque sweetness from brown sugar and a touch of butterscotch schnapps. That's all it takes for this old fashioned to taste just like the shortbread! (via The Daily Meal)
The Samoa
This Girl Scout cookie cocktail doesn't mess around. The recipe calls for homemade caramel, but if you use a store-bought version, no one will be the wiser. (via A Hollow Leg)
Caramel Surprise
This one tastes just like a Samoa cookie. To make it, shake 1 oz Godiva liqueur, 1.5 oz caramel vodka, 1.5 oz Malibu, 1 oz half and half, and 1 bar spoon of chocolate syrup over ice before straining into an iced glass. Finish things off with drizzles of chocolate and caramel and coconut flakes! (via Ocean Casino Resortin Atlantic City, NJ)
Tagalong Bourbon Shakes
Let it be known: this Girl Scout cookie cocktail is addictive and easy to make. Just pour some bourbon in your chocolate peanut butter ice cream, add some Tagalongs, and blend. Ta-dah! (via Pass the Sushi)
Thin Mint Oreo Bailey’s Irish Cream Milkshake
You might not realize you're drinking something boozy when indulging in this shake, but then you'll get a nice little kick from the Bailey's. It strikes a nice balance and makes it go down nice n' easy — not that we need the encouragement. (via Sweet ReciPeas)
