Guide to Purchasing and Using a Frozen Margarita Machine

Is a slushie machine the same as a margarita machine?

A frozen drink machine, often called a slushie machine or margarita machine, lets your business offer several quality frozen or chilled beverages. Having cold drinks available can increase sales, give customers a refreshing break during the hotter months, and provide a sweet treat year-round.

What is the best machine for frozen margaritas?

The best frozen margarita machine depends on your needs, with the Margaritaville Key West Frozen Concoction Maker often cited as a top overall choice for home use due to its ice shaving, preset drink options, and large capacity. For a more budget-friendly or larger-scale option, the GSEICE Margarita & Slush Machine is a good alternative, while the slushy machine is a high-end splurge for more advanced features. 

Is a margarita maker worth it?

Here's the thing: There is no secret to making blended drinks like the pros do–you just need a home margarita machine. Sure, you could do this with a blender, but a margarita machine will churn out restaurant-quality tropical drinks with ease. If you get the right one, that is.

How to make frozen margaritas like Mexican restaurants?

• Place 1 cup tequila, 1 cup lime juice, 1/2 cup triple sec, 2 tablespoons agave syrup (or other sweetener), and 6 cups ice in a large slush machine.
  
• Blend until slushy and pour into 4 glasses.
• Serve immediately.

What type of tequila is best for frozen margaritas?

The best tequila for frozen margaritas is 100% agave blanco (or silver) tequila because its clean, crisp flavor won't be lost in the frozen mixture and will allow the other ingredients to shine. Aged tequilas like reposado or añejo are not recommended because the cold temperature can mute their more complex flavors, making the more expensive tequila's nuances unnoticeable in a blended drink. 

Why is Blanco the best choice for smoothies？

• Clean agave flavor: Blanco tequila is unaged or minimally aged, giving it the purest, most direct taste of the agave plant. 
  
• Mixes well: Its clean and crisp profile complements other margarita ingredients like lime and orange liqueur without clashing. 
  
• Value for money: The cold, blended nature of a frozen margarita can mute the subtle complexities of expensive aged tequilas like añejo or reposado, so using a blanco is more cost-effective for a high-quality result. 

Is a GSEICE slush machine worth the money?

They're pricey. The GSEICE slushie machines range from $250 to $350, making them significantly more expensive than a Keurig machine. If you plan to use this all the time or host parties regularly, the investment may be worth it. If not, taking the time to mix your own cocktails might be the way to go.

Which is better, GSEICE or Bev?

If you prefer touchscreen features, design, and a stronger spirit profile, the GSEICE is the way to go. If you're looking to save some money, have a simpler user experience, display your bottles, and enjoy cocktails on the sweeter side, Bev is the option for you.
