Margaritaville Mixed Drink Maker

An Expensive Novelty - Our Guests Will Love It
Review of the Margaritaville Mixed Drink Maker, currently $300.

How it works:
Load one liquor (rum, vodka, or tequila) in one canister and load the other canisters with sour, cranberry juice, and pulp-free orange juice.
Turn the dial to select one of 16 drinks that use a combination of the four liquids.
Produces 8 oz of mixed drink designed to be mixed with 8 oz of ice. You'll be able to make 15 to 17 drinks before having to refill the canisters.
I uploaded a list of the drinks you can make with each liquor.

Pros:
- Looks cool - will impress your alcoholic friends
- Well made - should hold up for at least a couple of years
- Ease of set-up, use and clean up - can even be used drunk
- Lightweight and portable (when empty)
- Can get a single shot of liquor (my feature of choice)

Cons:
- Manufacturer recommends that you don't substitute...

An Expensive Bells and Whistles Ice-Coater...
The Margaritaville Mixed Drink Machine is an expensive little bit of fun. At the moment the Mrs. And I can think of no real competitor... if you're looking for a machine that will act as a mini-bartender and dispense a variety of mixed drinks, this is the machine.

There is a definite limited-duration "wow" factor for the MMDM once set up - and the set-up is quite easy, as is the clean-up for a device with so many parts. In addition to ease of setup and cleaning the machine seems pretty sturdy - plastic parts are mixed with metal ones, but there isn't a "cheap, flimsy" feeling. There are four tanks that are loaded on top of the machine: Orange Juice, Cranberry Juice, Sour Mix, and your choice of Tequila, Rum or Vodka.

After you've correctly loaded the machine and punched the button choosing the liquor of choice the machine gives a cheer (really) and tells you "Fins Up!" Then the show starts. There is a dial you turn to choose one of the 16 drinks that can be...

Love it!!!!!!!!
This is our 2nd Margaritaville machine, we absolutely love our 1st machine the Tahiti DM3000. We decided to invest in the mixed drink maker because our 1st machine was such a hit at parties. The "I feel lucky" button is sooo much fun, everyone fights to make me a drink. Just a warning drunken roulette is a great time that night but mornings are a little rough. I highly recommend this machine, we have a few friends already saving up for one. Side note: Amazon.com will ship to Canada.
