My husband loves to entertain guests with special frozen concoctions. Since giving him the Margaritaville Bahamas Frozen Drink maker for Father's Day he hasn't missed a chance to "whip" some refreshment up. He says it's the best thing he has ever used, very simple to operate. The fact that along with the automatic drink proportion controls, it can be used to manually put as much ice in as you would like and since he is somewhat of a control-freak with his cooking/drinks this allows him to make them perfect! His exact words, "This drink maker is so easy, I love it!".
