Mexican National Day of Independence is a very patriotic Mexican holiday or fiesta patria.

The country enjoys fireworks and festive foods such as pozole (a soup made of hominy and pork) in addition to celebratory drinks, including darker Reposado or Añejo Tequila styles which are shared by families and friends.
