Ceiba at Conrad Orlando announces Bar Takeover Series featuring fall and winter bar collaborations

Conrad Orlando at Evermore’s rooftop Mexican restaurant latest bar collaborations include celebrated bartenders, iconic bars, and industry leaders, spotlighting Orlando’s growing cocktail culture.

Orlando’s cocktail culture is getting a global spotlight as Ceiba, the signature rooftop Mexican restaurant and bar atop Conrad Orlando at Evermore, expands its ongoing bar takeover series this fall and winter with one-of-a-kind cocktail experiences.

The exclusive series invites locals, visitors and guests to experience world-class mixology through collaborations with internationally-renowned bars, bartenders and top-tier spirit brands while celebrating Orlando’s own thriving cocktail community and shared love of the craft.

Curated by general manager and cocktail aficionado Rob Colomb, the series highlights Ceiba’s agave-forward bar program while also introducing guests to leading voices in other celebrated spirit categories such as whiskey, gin and vodka. 

“We’re excited to expand Ceiba’s reach by partnering with some of the best bartenders, spirit makers, and brightest industry leaders across the country and beyond,” said Colomb. “Whether welcoming their incredible talent to Orlando or taking our agave expertise on the road, each collaboration offers guests a chance to discover creative, expertly prepared cocktails and enjoy an extraordinary night out.”

Since opening last year, Ceiba has emerged as a premier dining destination for authentic Mexican cuisine and an extraordinary agave-based cocktail program, featuring an extensive collection of more than 300 premium agaves. The bar showcases six different tasting experiences of Mexican spirits, including selections from ultra-premium brands, alongside comprehensive tastings like the Agave, featuring five different expressions: tequila, mezcal, raicilla, sotol, and bacanora. This foundation of exceptional spirits and expertise allows Ceiba to host some of the city’s most exciting cocktail collaborations both at home and beyond.
