DIY Margarita Machine

[Wingman]

The DIY Margarita Machine info was buried deep within a Big-D thread and I just thought it was worthy of its own thread in the tool crib. It's that friggen cool! Here is a video of aversion of it called the Party Jug. I called the guy and left a voice mail to see what they get for them so folks can compare the parts purchase to the cost of a pre built and pretty nice looking unit if its priced right. I like the clear pipe. The videos below will demonstrate how far you guys can go with the concept. I can't wait to see what some of you may do.

One of the teams we compete against in BBQ fundraiser makes one like the first video every year to raffle off...

All you need is a Home Depot or Lowes Cooler, some PVC and a garbage disposal 3/4 HP.. A few electrical wires and a switch... You can get your drunk on in about 15 minutes..

I think I like the idea of having the mixer outlet tube on the inside. This way the mix will not warm up on a hot day.
