In my household, we love Taco Tuesday. However, there's nothing that beats slinking over to the local taqueria for barbacoa and one (or two, or three) lime margaritas. In fact, I’d say that most of the time, the margaritas make the meal.

But going out every time I want a frozen drink just isn't feasible, especially when they cost $10 a glass. Enter: The Margaritaville margarita machine. This clever appliance makes restaurant-style margaritas, daiquiris and other frozen concoctions in just minutes. With this machine it's easy to get that sweet and salty kick right from the counter—no tipping required.

Those like me who appreciate a good margarita know that consistency matters. The Margaritaville margarita machine sits on the countertop and uses blades to thinly shave ice rather than crush it up like traditional blenders. It creates ice flakes that soak up tons of tequila and mix, so you never end up with flavorless crushed ice at the bottom of the glass. As a result, any drink that comes out of the machine tastes like an authentic, taqueria-style frozen cocktail.

Even better, the machine mixes up to three servings automatically after shaving the ice. Pull it out for parties, Taco Tuesdays or as a Friday night treat. It's even capable of virgin margaritas for kids! Just fill the hopper with ice cubes, select the serving size using the manual knobs, then flip the switch. The cocktail machine takes care of the shaving and blending. Need some delicious shaved ice for snow cones? No problem—the machine has shaved ice or blend-only options.

Just add your favorite margarita mix and a shot of tequila for a delicious, restaurant-quality cocktail. Enjoy it during dinner, or try using frozen fruit for a light and flavorful dessert.

Over 2,000 Amazon reviewers praise the Margaritaville margarita machine for its ease of use and delicious results. "This my new favorite kitchen appliance," writes verified purchaser Virginia. "While I was hesitant to splurge for the price, I knew that all of my old blenders that claimed to make the smooth frozen drinks I wanted always left small ice chunks. This machine doesn't thanks to the ice-shaving process (can even make snow cones).

I usually make at least two frozen beverages a day—a frozen fruit and yogurt or frappé for breakfast, and a tropical frozen fruit smoothie in the evening for a snack. I can't wait until I have friends over to make frozen drinks for them. Of course, you can use the blender mode if you would like a conventional blender."
