Mezcal Lauderdale Returns for the 2nd Annual Celebration of Everything Mezcal at Canyon/Rio’s Tequila Bar

 UniteUs Group, the Creative Solutions Company behind the FemAle Brew Fest, Art Fort Lauderdale, and other annual events, announces the second installation of Mezcal Lauderdale. This celebration of everything Mezcal will be held at Canyon/Rio’s Tequila Bar in Fort Lauderdale, Florida starting Friday, June 2 through Monday, June 5, 2023. Curated by the UniteUs Group CEO, Andrew Martineau, and his wife, Frances Antonio-Martineau, the three-day festival will be a one-of-a-kind experience showcasing some of the world’s most popular Mezcal brands, new Mezcal’s entering the market, food pairings, cigar pairings, mixology classes, tasting dinners, live music, and workshops with a special panel discussion on Agave Sustainability.

“My love for Mezcal has only increased since launching the festival in May 2022, with the never-ending flavor profiles of the various types of agaves there is always something new to discover with this spirit, and we hope this festival can introduce more people to Mezcal and the versatility of the spirit in cocktails and food and cigar pairings,” says Andrew Martineau, UniteUs Group CEO. “What’s even more exciting this year is our move to Canyon and Rio’s Tequila Bar in downtown Fort Lauderdale. This venue allows us to curate a very special experience for guests over the 3-day weekend with two kitchens, a private dining room, a speakeasy Tequila/Mezcal Bar, and a parking lot perfect for a highly curated Grand Tasting.”
