Make Me a Margarita

Here’s a gadget that will make wine snobs role their eyes and margarita purists cringe. Jimmy Buffet has capitalized on the popularity of his song “Margaritaville” and has come out with a line of margarita makers. Now, you too can be wasted away in Margaritaville at the touch of a button. Choose from three classy Margaritaville Frozen Concoction Maker models: Key West, Fiji, and Bahamas all of which "shave and blend the perfect Ritas, Daiquiris, Slides, and Smoothies". (What on earth is a slide?) And for the more adventurous who might need to take the party off road, there’s a cordless model called the Margaritaville Explorer.

As a wine novice, The Wino is in absolutely no position to judge, but she finds this “concoction maker” to be a tiny bit horrifying (and a little fascinating, too) but she’s keeping an open mind because she never knows when she will end up at a tailgate party faced with a fishbowl-sized margarita glass filled with “rita” made from one of Mr. Buffet’s blenders. If that happens fellow boozers, The Wino is just going to have to buckle down and drink it. All of it.

Cheers!
