Why a malted tequila milkshake, you may ask? Because we can!
And because it is outrageously delicious and silky and smooth and a true treat.
And because we have so much to celebrate: Mexican cuisine is stepping out of the “ethnic” denomination and proudly stepping into the mainstream as people’s appetite has increased to the point of wanting to get to know it better…
And because misconceptions about Mexicans, Mexican food and Mexican ingredients continue to be broken, and the beauty, diversity, richness and wealth of what “Mexican” encompasses is being acknowledged.
And because the myth that tequila is only worthwhile for being drunk as shots during Spring Break no longer holds true. There is not only good, but phenomenal quality tequila that can be sipped as the finest of whiskeys. To boot, it can also be used as a fine ingredient for mixed drinks, and it has so much versatility that there is even exquisite tequila liqueur that can be sipped as an apéritif or used for desserts.
And because we have the freedom to play in our kitchens, with much respect for our heritage and the ingredients that come along with it, I have taken the liberty of creating this glorious grown up milkshake! I wish I could have made it in time for inclusion in my upcoming cookbook Mexican Today. But every single recipe in there is a recipe I am proud of, whether a rediscovered classic or a new dish. My hope is you will savor every bite of what you try from it, as we do at home.
And because I want to make a toast to you all, with all my gratitude, for coming to this site to visit, for watching any or many of the episodes of my PBS series and letting me come into your home. Hopefully, I will get to meet many of you during my upcoming 20-plus city book tour.
And because my promise to you is to keep on working as hard as I can to make every single recipe you try here completely worth it.
With much love,
Pati

Hi Pati!
I do not care for malted milk powder. What could I use instead?
You can leave out the malted milk and it will still be a delicious milkshake!
Pati………..Been a big fan of Agavero for a long time. Never thought about a milkshake. That and your show are now two hits for me. Really enjoy watching your show.
Thank you for tuning in and for trying the recipe, Tom!
I made your Malted Tequila Milkshakes. Everybody loved them ! I follow a WFPB life , so i made mine with coconut milk ice cream and cashew milk, and it was fabulous. I love watching your show and your recipes are fantastic. Thank you for the inspirations.
YAY! Thank you for trying the recipe!
I just discovered Agavero recently, in time to take it to an anniversary party for a group of Latino friends. So delicious straight up, not too sweet, and very smooth to drink. I had to drive 30 minutes to get it, since no store in my area carried it, but well worth the trip. Now I guess I’ll have to buy another bottle to make milkshakes!
Yes I agree… always worth the trip 😉
This sounds amazing!
Thank you!!
Paty I enjoy watching you on TV, you make great Mexican dishes, you are a great chief and I am so proud of you.
Thank you, Anita!
Hi Pati,
where can I get the tequila liqueur? Can I use any tequila like don julio?
Myrna,
You can ask in your local liqueur store, or look online! I recommend using a tequila liqueur, but it is also phenomenal with normal tequila!
Hola Pati
Me da mucho gusto en conocerte vía TV por PBS.
En Chicago mi Padre fue salesmen de productos hispanos y yo cuando niño lo acompañaba a las bodegas y restaurantes mexicanos, así conocí a comer la deliciosa comida de tu querido México.
Muchas Gracias Pati por seguir influyendo tu cultura y tradición atraves de tus recetas. Puert Rico Te Ama.
Gracias, Adolfo!
Tried this recipe last night. We all loved it. Not too sweet and had a nice little kick. Everyone should try a little sip of this Tequila, it’s wonderful. Thanks Pati for another great recipe!
Thank you for trying it, Ailina!
Good morning Pati. I just read the recipe for this shake. If it’s anything like the other recipes in your first book, I’ll be hooked. I mentioned to you before, how much I truly loved your first book. I couldn’t stop trying the different recipes out. I can’t wait for your 2nd book. Thank you again for allowing people to experience your way of cooking. You are an excellent teacher!!!
Thank you, Michael! I am so happy to hear you enjoyed the 1st book and I hope you will enjoy the 2nd one too. 🙂
It sounds delicious,I am sharing this recipe with a group of friends who love to try new things!
Awesome, Rema!
Pati! My new favorite milkshake! It will definitely “bring all the Boyz to the yard”!
I purchased Pati’s Mexican Table…what a beautiful cookbook. It makes me very happy that I pre-ordered your latest endeavor. I wish I had a 1/10 of your energy & work ethic! DELICIOSO!
Hola Pati,
The only kind of liqueur I really enjoy is “baileys irish”. That’s more my speed. But this shake sounds like it would be just as good and I’ll have to give it a try. But I must find Agavero first. Thanks for the recipe.
Hola Jo,
I hope you try the recipe and love it as much as I do!
PATI, DO YOU EVER HAVE CLASSES IN THE LOS ANGELES AREA. I WOULD LOVE TO ATTEND A CLASS. I REALLY ENJOY
WATCHING YOU ON THE PBS STATION. YOU COOK THE WAY MY MOMS’ SIDE OF THE FAMILY DID.
I will be there on April 10th for the Los Angeles Book Festival! Hope you can attend!
Hi Ms. Pati,
I love your program, and would like to know if you will be coming to Louisiana any time soon?
Thank you.

Never heard of Tequila Liqueur…I have to admit that Tequila makes me quite ill although other alcohol doesn’t but I sure do like the taste of it. I will give this Liqueur a try!
Thank you for trying it, Cristina! I do not want you to get sick though… It can be made without tequila… like I make for my boys =)
Hi Pati
I can’t wait to make it tonight, thanks to you my wife loves Mexican food, before she was very skeptical about ingredients but now we can both enjoy the same food at dinner.
Gracias
Fernando, this makes me ECSTATIC to hear!!
