5 out of 5 stars FINALLY! ...a frozen drink just like the restaurants make. REALLY!   November 26, 2008
Sparky Jones (Seattle, WA)
FINALLY! ...a frozen drink just like the restaurants make. My wife and eat Tex-Mex 2-3 times per week and LOVE margaritas. Some like them on the rocks, but we like them frozen. The restaurants have the good ones, almost like a slushie, with no chunks of ice in it. So we recently purchased the Margaritaville Bahamas Frozen Concoction Maker on Amazon in hopes of enjoying these drinks at home for much less.

It far exceeds our expectations. It is very well made. (I originally saw this at a store next to "El Paso Chile Company's" frozen drink maker and they don't even compare... the other brand is very cheap) We recently had a large family get-together and EVERYONE loved the drinks. The machine had no problem keeping up... we just ran out of ice!

This machine is a cinch to clean since nothing but ice goes into it. However, I highly recommend wiping the bottom of the chrome ice chute since drink mix can splash up and make it sticky. To blend your drink, you can use the automatic mode or you can use the manual switch for individualized consistency. (Up to shave and down to blend) If blending manually, I recommend blending at least 20 seconds. It makes it much more smooth.

We tried the recipe in the manual, but it was only fair. Here is the recipe we used that had everyone raving at our party:

* 1/2 can of frozen limeade mix.
* 1/2 can of your favorite brand of tequila.
* 2 tablespoons of sugar.
* Splash of Grand Marnier.
* Add shaved ice and blend.

We look forward to trying some of the smoothie recipes. You can make your own Jamba Juice type drinks too!



5 out of 5 stars The most amazing frozen drink maker ever!   November 25, 2008

I absolutely love this machine! It works like no other, drinks come out perfectly smooth and icee. It is like having a tropical bar in your own kitchen! You won't be disappointed.


3 out of 5 stars performance too much like that of a good blender   October 21, 2008
Eva (El Paso, TX)
We bought the Margaritaville Concotion Maker because we love all sorts of frozen drinks and smoothies. The results are altogether satisfying though not always. It frequently happens that, if you use the automatic shaving and blending option, you get watery, tasteless margaritas. Knowing the maching a bit, we are able to produce nice drinks, but we expected finer ice crystals and a smoother texture than our blender can produce anyway. Therefore, if you have a well-working blender, the margaritaville might be redundant.

Margaritaville DM0500 Bahamas 36-Ounce Frozen-Concoction MakerAfter trying several blenders, and a large "margarator" that broke twice, I wanted something that really did the job. Got it with this one. Took no time at all to figure out how much liquid to how much ice. It is great. It really keeps up, even with a large crowd. It is fun to use too. I highly recommend it to anyone that really enjoys a good margarita.
