what's for dinner?

[Blindgreed1]

I'm confused... Why is a machine needed for a Margarita?

I guess these machines shave the ice, instead of grinding and blending it. It's supposed to make a difference, which is why I balked at first.

After they open their gift and I have a drink from it, I'll report back.

Oh FROZEN Margaritas! I see. I don't care for them. Slows down the intake process too much.

I like to press the easy button as much as possible and I found 6 packs of pre made margaritas. Just open chilled bottle and pour. I don't use ice either as it dilutes it too much here in hot ole' Phoenix.....I also got tired of hunting down wine opener and fooling around with that thing for an eternity so I found 6 packs of wine, no opener needed, just unscrew..found them at Bashas grocery store but notice Walgreen's drug are now carrying them. Very convenient, you can even carry in your purse...I am an ex foodie and would have died for the margarita machine, however. I also drink the house vodka as I can't tell the difference between expensive and cheap. I wouldn't know Grey Goose from the $10.00 jug of vodka on sale at your local grocery store. Back in the 80's, i wanted the coffee station just like in Starbucks, all the fancy machines which made and dispensed everything from sorbet, ice cream, sherbets, coffee, tea, gelato, soda, etc.....
Getting back to the margaritas, I like the individual servings as you don't have to mix up a batch in blender, pitcher, etc. Each bottle equals one margarita....

As I said, I'm not one to slow down the intake process, so I've actually honed Margaritas down to shots of tequila. Depending on what kind of tequila I may or may not use the salt and lime. The difference between the expensive vodka and the cheap stuff is an easy explanation: The cheap stuff gives you a worse hangover because it isn't free from impurities. Run the cheap stuff through a coffee filter a few times and you get a higher grade vodka. Cheers!
