Brand: Margaritaville
Located in: Grilling Accessories, Outdoor Cookware

Create the perfect margarita by simply measuring the ingredients and ice, then flipping a switch. Housed in stylish brushed and polished stainless-steel and updated with preset controls and a larger ice reservoir, this premium version of the original Margaritaville Frozen Concoction Maker produces twice as many frozen beverages between refills. Unlike a blender, it features two powerful mechanisms: one for shaving (not chopping) the ice in the upper reservoir, the other for blending just the right proportion of ingredients and ice into its large glass pitcher. With preset buttons for margaritas, daiquiris, coladas and smoothies, it quickly blends one, two or three at a time. The brief downtime between batches makes it useful when entertaining a crowd. The easy-to-operate automatic controls let you select the beverage’s strength and thickness; using the manual option, you can manage the consistency even more precisely.

Comments about Margaritaville Frozen Concoction Maker - Fiji:

I was torn whether to spend the extra on the better machine. After much consideration and then finding a great on-line price and a rebate offered by Margaritaville. I bought the top end machine. I couldn't be happier with the performance and quality of this model. It makes awesome drinks. My husband was very skeptical that is was just a glorified blender, but it really makes frozen drinks like the bars do! Now I have that frozen concoction that helps me hang on!!!!

Comments about Margaritaville Frozen Concoction Maker - Fiji:

When the Margaritaville Fiji Frozen Concoction Machine arrived it was a very easy setup. The instructions were straightforward and in no time the step-by-step set up had the machine ready to produce some delicious frozen beverages. The craftsmanship and quality were apparent at the onset, and the weight of the machine gave a certain feel of durability. My guests commented that they loved the look of the machine, and the brushed-nickel finish really made it stand out.I loaded it up with ice, utilizing bagged ice from a local grocery store mixed with ice from my refrigerator ice maker and looked at the instructions to see which drink I wanted to make. I then choose from four preprogrammed drink cycles; margaritas, daiquiris, slides, (mudslides) or smoothies, and then decided whether I wanted one, two or three drink settings. I then flipped the automatic Shave-N-Blend switch, and the machine automatically mixed the right proportion of ice with ingredients and timed it just right. If you decide at the end of the drink cycle that you need more ice or blending simply flip the switch to blend or shave to add what you so desire. I followed the instructions denoting exact amounts of liquids per drink as written in the included recipe book and the first batch of Margaritas came out perfectly.It is truly a four step machine, add ice, select your drink and size, add your favorite mix, and flip the automatic Shave-n-Blend switch and within seconds your favorite concoction will be ready. The great part about this machine is that if you get guests that prefer thicker or thinner drinks simply flip the switch to blend a little more ice or just blend without adding ice. It’s just that simple, and best of all if you leave the ice sit in the ice bin for an extended period of time the melting runoff collects in a clear reservoir located on the back of the machine. No more thin flavored soupy Margaritas or watered down Mudslides!The varieties of drinks are endless but the cleanup is not. The glass-blending jar has a unique retro look that lends itself to easy stability when in use with a large glass handle and drip free spout. It’s also great for simply shaving ice for snow cones and adding your favorite syrup and finishing off with a spoon. No matter what the size of your party this machine stands up to mountains of blending action. As long as you have ice to blend and mix to add the Fiji FCM will consistently churn out the proper Margarita, Daiquiri, Mudslide or Smoothie.When you’ve mastered the Fiji FCM your friends will be asking you to be the Frozen Drink Master at their next party and with the FCM Carrying Bag you can take your machine on the road. The bag is made of water repellent canvas and designed to transport and store the Fiji FCM with straps that hold the pitcher in place during transportation. Simply slide your lost shaker of salt and fresh limes in the side pocket, grasp the nylon carrying handles and head to Margaritaville. You and your friends will have a blast using the Fiji FCM, so get one today, blend up a drink or two and hang on!

Comments about Margaritaville Frozen Concoction Maker - Fiji:

I love this machine. The margaritas came out smooth every time. I only wish my local restaurants would order them, because every time I go to my local Mexican restaurant, there are ice chunks in the glass. Not so with this baby. It may turn into a hazy summer at the pool, I'll have to be careful.

Comments about Margaritaville Frozen Concoction Maker - Fiji:

I bought this for my husband as a holiday gift and he loved it the minute he took it out of the box.I was not happy of how long it took to ship and the delay on top of that.[...] This one was the best choice out of all the other models out there in the market. I purchased both models and took one back and kept this one. It has a bigger hold on the ice as well as the drip storage area. It was the hit of my husband's party! Everyone asked him where he purchased it from. It is nice that you can make many different drinks with it. The only thing we have a problem with is that it is hard to store away so now we just keep it out on the bar. It is a conversation piece in my house. My husband said it was the best gift he ever received. Glad I bought it for him.
