Celebrity Mark Wahlberg helps victims of Maui wildfires at Rocco's Tacos event in Delray
Accomplished actor, producer and singer Mark Wahlberg may have added an unofficial proficiency to his resume: mixologist.
Actually, after multiple stops serving drinks at Palm Beach County establishments including BICE Ristorante Palm Beach, Total Wine at Legacy Place in Palm Beach Gardens and the Rocco's Tacos in Palm Beach Gardens, it's probably official.
Wahlberg put those skills on display Friday, Aug. 25 at Rocco's Tacos & Tequila Bar in Delray Beach during the Flecha Azul Tequila happy hour along with Rocco's owner Rocco Mangel.
The star of such mega hits like "The Fighter," "Lone Survivor" and "Transformers," as well as comedies including "Ted," "Ted 2" and "Daddy's Home," served drinks at the Atlantic Avenue hot spot.

Along with cocktails like the Fletcha Azul strawberry basil margarita, there was happy hour food specials including tacos and the chance to grab a photo with the award-winning actor.
The event was also for a good cause. Proceeds from the happy hour raised money for the Central Kitchen which is on site in Maui helping those affected by the recent fires.
For the month of September, proceeds from any Flecha Azul strawberry basil margarita purchased at Rocco's in Delray Beach will go to support World Central Kitchen.

Fletcha Azul Tequila, founded by Mexican-born Aron Marquez along with first-generation Mexican-American pro-golfer, Abraham Ancer and backed by Mark Wahlberg, is crafted authentically in Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico.
Marquez and Ancer first met at a PGA Tour Pro-Am event and quickly became friends.
With a strong passion for their Mexican heritage and tequila, the pair eventually came up with the idea for their high-end tequila.
Their tequila company is one of the few Mexican-owned, and authentically-operated tequila brands in the world.
Flecha Azul has been named the number one sipping tequila of 2023 by Men's Journal magazine.
