DMD Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 What was the brand of maker you bought? I was looking at one at BJ's which is like your Costco probably. It was stainless and only $70. Drink what you want. The only unmanly thing you're guilty of is given a crap what anyone else thinks. Was it this one? Blender We bought this one. We got it for around $135 at Sams Club. The cool thing is that you can make snowcones too for the kids... and me... pretty versatile machine that shaves ice and blends drinks.

The Irish Doggy Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 It depends on the situation. If I'm hanging at a resort pool/seaside beach, I'll drink frozen margaritas and daiquiris all day. What the hell do I care? Its vacation. However, I wouldn't be caught dead in a bar with either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whomper Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I could give a flip what people think. If I want a fruity drink, I'm ordering it with extra umbrellas. We have guys come up to the bar sometimes and sheepishly order drinks that are normally "girlie" drinks. Sometimes we bust their balls if they draw attention to it but it is all in good fun. We have a Martini bar that has all of these custom Martinis and one of them is a Mango Martini. I had a guy order it once that could barely look me in thge eye. I told him he put the Man in Mango Martini and he felt much better about himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pope Flick Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 The original I'd say is neutral/mascualine with most of ther permutations decidedly feminie. In short: Cadillac on the rocks is 10x as masculine as a strawberry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo mama Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I like margaritas when I'm eating Mexican food but that's about it. Frozen, no salt. And those who complain that the blended ice is diluting their beverage simply aren't drinking it fast enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes absolutely no sense. If the drink is not blended, then yes, drinking it quickly prevents you from drinking a diluted beverage. However, if you blend said ice with the other ingredients then your drink is officially diluted and there's no way to avoid it. Each sip you take includes both your cocktail and the blended ice. Defending blended margaritas is like defending well done steaks. To each his own, of course, but you need to understand that you are arguing for a fundamentally flawed product.

We went to a place that had buck margs one night and brought our OWN umbrellas. The bartender came over and said "thanks guys, now EVERYBODY wants to know why you have umbrellas and nobody else got any." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detlef Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 i disagree... you can't "uncook" a steak, while you can always add more tequilla. Why does that matter? My point is simply this. One can say they prefer a well done steak. And that's fine, of course, but basically they are saying they prefer their steak to be ruined. It's the same with a blended margarita. You are willfully diluting your drink. Yes, unlike a well done steak, you can always make it stronger by adding more of everything but all that means is that you are fixing the mistake made by blending ice into it. The fact that one is a somewhat fixable mistake and the other is not only matters if the person getting it didn't want it that way to begin with. Which, in both instances is not the case. The person ordering the well done steak wants his steak over cooked so doesn't care that he's stuck with it. Just as the person willfully diluting his cocktail with pureed ice doesn't care that he could ask the bartender to fix his "mistake".

Detlef, the mistake you are making is assuming that I *want* to taste the tequila. I don't. I want a tasty, frosty cold beverage to wash down my enchiladas with. Though, I readily agree that if I want to enjoy the taste of good liquor I'm not putting it in a blended drink. The entire appeal of the blended drink is that it camouflages the inferior flavor of cheap liquor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A well done steak tastes like poopy. A frozen margarita tastes great. Not everyone has to have a cocktail made from the top shelf and drink it with their pinkie sticking up.
