The Margaritaville DM1000 Frozen Concoction Maker is quite the nifty beverage maker. Whether you prefer fruit smoothies or ‘adult drinks’ this machine will do the trick. Think of it as a blender on steroids!

Yes, it is a bit pricey, but it gets EXCELLENT reviews. The only downfall seems to be the fact that it takes up quite a chunk of counter space.

This baby does it all. You simply add your ingredients to the blending jar and ice to the top reservoir. Next, you indicate the number of drinks you want to make and let the concoction maker work its wonders.

It automatically shaves the ice and produces the PERFECT frozen drink… time to buy those cute little umbrellas.

If you are new to making homemade frozen beverages and are not sure how long to process them, there are a variety of pre-programmed settings that totally eliminate the guesswork.

The DM1000 comes with a 32 ounce capacity pitcher, a shot glass and shot rimmer. If you don’t drink alcohol there are still tons of yummy drinks you can make in this. Your kids (and the entire neighborhood) will love you for it.

If you have a Margaritaville machine, I hope you will take a minute to share your favorite recipe.
