You’ve probably stood at the counter pulsing the blender again and again while everyone waits out on the patio. Frozen cubes and blades don’t always get along, and the result tends to be either lumpy or watery, rarely the drink you had in mind.
This machine takes a different route. Add ice and your ingredients, and its automatic Shave-N-Blend cycle shaves the ice first, then blends it, turning out 36 ounces at a time, or about three drinks. Measurement markings help you get the proportions right for piña coladas, daiquiris and margaritas, while 400 watts of combined shaving and blending power keeps the texture smooth.
When the batch is ready, skip lifting the lid and tipping the whole jar. Just open the serving hatch and pour. You’ll be the most popular person on the deck by the second round.
