Remember the Margarita maker we borrowed for my birthday?
Hubby really wanted one but it's really, really pricey, and we couldn't justify spending that amount of $$$ on a 'nice to have'.
When we were in Vegas we had dinner at Margaritaville. While we were waiting for our table we wandered the shop, and drooled over their display.
Well now we own one! My very generous in laws surprised hubby with one of his very own as a birthday present. Hubby's birthday is in December, but they decided it would be more fun if we had it for the summer.
It's had a workout. Margaritas, frappucinos, slushies, pina coladas, frozen lemonade, raspberry smoothies, protein shakes...
This is hubby and his mum enjoying a naughty frappucino:
- Milk
- Kahlua or Bailey's
- 1 scoop frappe freeze mix
- ice
