We like to host parties and have been experimenting with various frozen drink recipes. Our friends immediately ask to see our "Blender" after trying our drinks because they can't believe how good they taste, along with the thick texture that you would expect from a frozen drink venue. The machine is incredibly easy to use and even easier to clean. We're thrilled with how well the drinks are made with both the appearance and taste on par with something you would order at a restaurant. We have also experimented with ice cream which yield the same delicious results (both taste and texture). The only downside is having 2 containers when hosting larger groups. The drinks are so popular that we quickly run out! I would highly recommend!
