Mexico’s Independence Day with Tequila Casa Dragones

On September 15th, Tequila Casa Dragones joined the Mexican Consul General of New York, Ambassador Sandra Fuentes-Berain, for an intimate evening atop New York’s Empire State Building in honor of Mexico’s 205th Anniversary. Guests including Bob Pittman, CEO of iheartMedia and Bertha González-Nieves, CEO of Tequila Casa Dragones, enjoyed Casa Dragones Joven Sipping Tequila and canapés from La Palapa, as Ambassador Sandra Fuentes-Berain held the Mexican flag and exclaimed “El Grito”, the official cry of Mexican Independence.

Historic Ride to San Miguel de Allende

For the third year in a row and to kick off Mexico’s Independence Day celebrations, Casa Dragones joined the “Cabalgata Histórica,” one of the most unique events to celebrate Mexico’s Independence. Over three days, the “Cabalgata Histórica” begins each year in the city of Queretaro and ends in our spiritual home of San Miguel de Allende. This historic horseback ride commemorates the moment that Josefa Ortiz de Dominguez, insurgent and supporter of the Mexican War of Independence, informed Miguel Hidalgo, Juan Aldama, and Ignacio Allende, captain of the Dragones of San Miguel, that their plans to start the movement of independence had been discovered.

Casa Dragones is inspired by the courage and independent spirit of the legendary Dragones of San Miguel de Allende.

Celebrate Mexico’s Independence

Many people are familiar with the story of Hidalgo and Mexican Independence Day of 1810. But little is known of the men who helped spark that movement in the late 1700’s. At that time, San Miguel de Allende was situated at the crossroads of the lucrative silver trade in Mexico. The Dragones of San Miguel, an elite cavalry of the Queen’s army who had been in Mexico for four generations, garnered much influence and power in business and trade throughout the region. The Dragones eventually formed alliances with influential leaders in the church, including Hildalgo, to seek independence from Spain. General Ignacio Allende, head of the cavalry and leader of the Dragones, worked closely with Hidalgo to spark the movement of Mexican Independence. On September 15th, 1810, Hidalgo notoriously rang the bell and exclaimed El Grito! marking the beginning of Mexico’s Independence Movement.

Today, 205 years later, Tequila Casa Dragones is inspired by this remarkable history. This year, celebrate your spirit of independence on September 15^th by serving Casa Dragones Joven at your dinner party or as an elegant toast. Viva Mexico!
