A Day at the Pajaretes

WARNING: If you don’t drink milk you might think this video is gross.

Follow me on my day at the Pajaretes. The Pajarete is a traditional Mexican function, in a barn early in the mornings when the cows get milked. It is also the name of the drink prepared with sugar, chocolate, instant coffee, cane alcohol at 96%, and freshly milked cow’s milk.
