Guests in Attendance Included: Mark Wahlberg, Aron Marquez, Tie Domi, Tom Gaglardi and Many More

TORONTO, ON, August 30, 2023 – Last night, Flecha Azul Tequila known for its ultra-premium, additive-free craftsmanship and authentic Mexican roots, celebrated its highly anticipated Canadian launch at Moxies Downtown Toronto with an evening that dazzled attendees and left a “Mark” on the city’s social scene.

Mark Wahlberg, the principal investor behind Flecha Azul Tequila, along with co-founder Aron Marquez, and notable Tie Domi, got behind the bar and served Flecha Azul Tequila shots and toasted to the launch amongst the crowd. “There’s no better place to launch Flecha Azul Tequila in Canada than at Moxies,” said Mark Wahlberg. The Moxies bar team also served up a new signature cocktail – The Marky Marg, a pineapple basil based margarita made with Flecha Azul Blanco Tequila.

The star-studded event took place at Moxies, offering an elevated menu with an assortment of items handcrafted with fresh, quality ingredients. Flecha Azul Tequila’s launch was nothing short of spectacular, the event aimed to introduce Toronto’s notables to Flecha Azul’s unparalleled lineup of tequilas with carefully curated Moxies cocktails, characterized by their distinct flavours and commitment to traditional distillation methods.

“Celebrating the Canadian launch of Flecha Azul Tequila with friends, the community and the team at Moxies, was a great way for all to experience the finest ultra-premium tequila I am passionate about,” said Aron Marquez. “Flecha Azul was made to be enjoyed around the world, and now Canadians can experience it with the new signature Marky Marg available at Moxies.”

From existing menu favourites like Tiny Tuna Tacos to dishes not yet released, such as the Citrus Habanero Salmon, the night featured food handcrafted by Moxies’ Executive Chef Brandon Thordason. The night emulated the same elevated dining experience that Moxies is known for. The team is proud to be the official restaurant launch partner of Flecha Azul Tequila in Canada and to provide guests the opportunity to try it through various crafted cocktails.
