Best Margarita Machines In 2022

The final entry on our best margarita machine list is the Mega BL770 Kitchen System from Ninja. The BL770 is more than just a margarita machine. It’s a full-scale drink maker and food processor that will not only spice up your pool parties but also help you create perfect cupcakes, bread and other items.

It features an array of attachments including a 72 ounce ‘crushing pitcher’ that turns rock-hard ice cubes into a neat pile of delicate shreds in just seconds. Along with an 8 cup food processor jar that allows you to chop any vegetable or fruit into manageable pieces in the blink of an eye, or create the perfect bread dough in less than a minute.

If you entertain a lot during the summer the Margaritaville Tahiti Frozen Concoction Maker should be on your “must-have” list. This is serious drink-making technology that’s going to set you back a pretty penny but which nonetheless will transform your backyard into the place to be this year. With 3 24 ounce blending jars arrayed in a half-moon around the central ice shredder the thing has a distinctly industrial air about it. And it would no doubt look right at home behind a bar in the Virgin Islands or some tropical island in the south of Thailand.

But not only is the Tahiti a big, bad margarita maker (which we’ll get to in a moment), it’s also great theater as it moves from station to station dispensing ice and initiating the mixing process. But back to that mixing process. The Tahiti has a half dozen different presets for each blending jar. So you can make margaritas in jar 1, daiquiris in jar 2 and smoothies, mojitos, mudslide or coladas in jar 3. All you need to do is add the ingredients to each jar, choose the preset and hit the start button.

If you want to bring the beach party home, you’re going to need the Nostalgia Margarator™. This purpose-built blender is the ultimate way to make your favorite slushy cocktail to keep you and your friends cool on a hot summer day. Before we get into the amazing features, it’s worth mentioning that this is probably the best-looking margarita machine on the market. The aqua blue body creates the perfect backdrop for your colorful cocktails and will really stand out on your kitchen counter. 

The machine has a total capacity of one gallon, meaning that it can make a total of around 35 drinks. That’s based on 3.5oz of mix topped up with ice in an 8oz glass. You could make the drinks more substantial than that, if you don’t have as many people to serve. Speaking of serving, the Easy-Flow Dispensing Spout is one of this machine’s most impressive features. Just pull down on the tab and accurately control the flow of margarita as it pours into the glass. You couldn’t dream up a better way to dispense the liquid. 

One of the ways the aforementioned Jimmy Buffett has capitalized on the cultural penetration of his hit song is to license the name to a line of “frozen concoction makers”. The Margaritaville line of margarita machines has achieved widespread notoriety for their attention to detail, their build quality, and their sheer audacity. A good place to start if you’re contemplating one of these margarita machines is the Bahamas Frozen Concoction Maker.

This is a versatile, effective, stylish, and maybe most importantly, a moderately sized blender that comes with a bunch of presets that allow you to become a cruise ship bartender without ever having to study. There’s a durable 400-watt motor that makes short work of ice cubes and built-in measuring guides so that you’re never left asking how much of a certain ingredient you should include.

If the production line qualities of the Tahiti are a bit much for you consider the Margaritaville Key West Frozen Concoction Maker. Although it’s still a fairly large appliance it doesn’t gobble up anywhere near the amount of countertop real estate that the Tahiti does. That’s because you’re only dealing with a single mixing jar at a time. Beyond its more reasonable size the big attraction here is the fact that its 4 presets allow you pretty much hands-off drink production of daiquiris, coladas and mudslides as well as margaritas.

The 36 ounce mixing jar is large enough to produce 3 full sized frozen cocktails. And you’re given the choice of selecting how many you’d like to make via the knob on the control panel. The ice shredder on the Key West cantilevers over the mixing jar like a drip coffee maker. That gives it a very different profile than some other margarita blenders. The entire device also features lots of reflective surfaces that serve to disguise its true size, which is a plus when you’re working in a kitchen with limited space.
