If you've spent any time dreaming of the perfect margarita on a hot summer day, you should really consider buying your own Margaritaville margarita machine. But did you know that the Margaritaville margarita machines make so much more than margaritas?  Most people do not know how versatile these machines are.

Take a quick peek at the recipe booklet that comes with the machines. They include margaritas, of course, but also daiquiris, mudslides, slushies, smoothies, mojitos, snow cones, frozen coffee drinks, and more. By making your own, you'll save a bundle over the local tavern, the coffee house, and even the ice cream truck!

The Margaritaville margarita machine is designed to consistently produce restaurant-quality frozen beverages. Consumers rave about the consistency of the drinks that are produced by a touch of a button. Even the most inexperienced bartender can make the most fabulous drinks possible every time.

The secret behind this line of drink makers is the two-step process in preparing the ice for the frozen concoction. All you do is put the ice in the hopper, your wet ingredients into the blender, select a drink, select the number of drinks you want to make, and the machine does the rest. First, it shaves the ice into the blender. Then it blends the ice with the wet ingredients for the perfect amount of time. Then it shuts itself off, and you have a blender full of yummy goodness. If you prefer more control or like to experiment, you can manually control the process as well.

Consumers love this product. They say it comes ready to use right out of the box, and because the machine shaves the ice before blending, the blender lasts a long, long time. They also love the styling of the product. With colors like lime green (of course!) and mango, just looking at the machine puts you in mind of a tropical paradise, palm trees swaying, little umbrellas in frosty glasses... ah!

The only constructive criticism of the machine is that you might want to consider using the plastic pitcher that does not come with the machine instead of the glass pitcher that does. The main reason for this is that glass is a better conductor of heat than plastic, so your drinks will stay frozen longer and have better consistency. Also, don't use your pitcher right out of the dishwasher as it will be a bit warm and melt some of the ice, making a drink that may be too watery for your taste.

It doesn't matter if you want to make one snow cone or three pitchers of margaritas. There is a Margaritaville margarita machine out there to fit your needs. These machines are designed for heavy use (because you will serve a few margaritas at your parties). But they also make individual drinks well too. Nothing gets you going again like a frozen coffee drink on a hot afternoon, but who can afford to spend that much every day? Make your own and save a bundle. Kids love to have a lemonade stand in the summer – how much more would they sell if they could make a lemonade slushie instead?

Supercharge your summer with your own Margaritaville margarita machine.
