As you know, often it is difficult to serve quality frozen drinks to your guests with off the shelf retail blenders. The blender can create a mess, but it makes a great blend of tequila and margarita mix and the ice is as good as you get in a restaurant. If you really want to make restaurant style frozen drinks for you or your guests, the Margaritaville line of products are the right choice.

Margaritaville products are expensive, but you get what you pay for. Adding to its durability is the unique feature that the machine has two motors for shaving and blending ice. It’s aesthetically pleasing and your party guests will definitely ask you about the curious-looking bar equipment.

When the Margaritaville Frozen Concoction Maker shaves ice is when the user begins to see the machine’s capabilities. But, the blender produces shaved ice that is restaurant quality. However, to consistently make great drinks, you have to have professionally shaved ice (no chunks allowed!). Chunks of ice in your frozen margarita are very unappealing, but then again, so are watery over-blended drinks. That issue is not even a concern with this machine. This Margaritaville product could not do a better job.

As a result, your drinks turn out with the perfect mix of margarita mix and alcohol – but you need to follow the instructions that are supplied withthe Margaritaville Maker. You will sometimes forget that you are in a restaurant instead of your own home. It even comes with a glass and salt rimmer for professionally slated margarita glasses. I have even added sugar to the glass rimmer for sweet rimmed margaritas! The machine is not just for party time either. My children love the machines to creat slushes and sno cones!

The Margaritaville set features a glass pitcher that allows the mixologist to blend drinks for three people at one time. The glass pitcher has a large, oversized handle, which makes pouring drinks much easier.

Overall, I am more than happy with the Margaritaville Frozen Concoction Maker, I wish the ice reservoir was bigger. The ice reservoir is on the small side and requires the user to fill it often.

Shaving ice is a powerful task that can wear on a motor, so it is also good to know that the machine comes with a 1 year warranty. So far, I have had no problems with my machine and hope to have frozen drinks for years to come!
