Mixing drinks with the Margaritaville Explorer is simple.

Just pour your choice of mix – traditional, strawberry, anything you wish – then put the ice on top, turn the knob, then push the button.

The pre-programmed mixing options keep things simple, while the Margaritaville ice shaver shaves the ice and the secondary blender mixes your drink perfectly.

You can automatically shave and blend a frozen drink, or opt for the manual blend only to mix traditional cocktails.

The low-battery indicator will let you know when you need to have it charged, ready for another venture.

It comes with a quick start guide and detailed instruction manual. A measuring glass is included too.

Cleaning up won’t be a problem, as the unit is dishwasher safe.

Customer Reviews

Most customers who own the Explorer are wowed by the blender’s drink quality, given that it runs on battery.  The drink mixing definitely lives up to Margaritaville expectations.

The only downsides are the inability to plug it into a wall (it only works on battery power) and the machine can get loud, but not much louder than any other powerful blender. Given it will be mainly used outside, this probably won’t be a problem for most.

This is so fun and easy to use. We use it on our boat. So great!!!

I used this at a festival for about three hours over 2 days… probably blended around 10 pitchers’ worth of piña coladas and margaritas…

The only thing that would make it better would be the option to also plug it in.

…the carry bag is a definite plus – makes it so mobile you really get more out of it.

Conclusion

The Margaritaville Explorer Cordless Frozen Concoction Maker produces excellent restaurant-quality drinks anywhere, for dozens of your friends.
