For Mexicans, the 15th of September is one of the most special occasions, as in addition to celebrating Mexico's Independence, it is also a great opportunity to savor the jewels that Mexican cuisine offers us, from guacamole, pozole, tacos, tostadas, snacks, desserts, and even drinks. In the case of beverages and cocktails, many people take the opportunity to prepare all kinds of refreshing cocktails like palomas, cantaritos locos, micheladas and more, however, year after year there is a possibility that the Mexican night does not go as planned, as some municipalities or towns establish the famous “dry law”, meaning there is no sale of alcohol on that date. Although you can also buy your beers, tequila, mezcal, and other spirits ahead of time, it is also important to consider that we should not consume alcoholic beverages excessively.
