When many people think of frozen drinks, they think of margaritas, daiquiris, and other frozen cocktails.

But don’t forget there are also many folks that prefer non-alcoholic slushy drinks. Either they are adults who don’t partake or children who are underage.

As you plan your local Kansas City party or event, you should try to appeal to both audiences to ensure all of your guests feel catered to.

Normally this might require you to rent two frozen drink machines and put the alcohol-based slushes in one, and the non-alcoholic slushies in the other.

This does solve the problem but requires the extra expense of renting two margarita machines. This makes sense if you are having a lot of guests as multiple machines are often necessary to serve everyone.

But if you are having a smaller party, you could save some money and serve drinkers and non-drinkers with a single machine.

Steps to serve alcoholic and non-alcoholic slushies with a single frozen drink machine rental:

1. Rent a single frozen drink machine
2. Select a flavor that is good both ways, such as strawberry
3. Mix the slushies as non-alcoholic in the machine
4. Make the alcohol available to mix in separately for those who want it

This has several benefits for your party goers.

First, it allows you to service both audiences at the same time ensuring more guests enjoy your event.

Second, you can place the alcohol in a separate location safely monitored by adults and not have to assign a gatekeeper for the slushy machine. This lets kids have fun freely serving their own slushies and takes stress off of the adults.

Lastly, it saves you money. Since you can serve both groups with one slushy machine, you avoid renting a second machine just for the virgin drinks.

There is one challenge to consider though. 

You will want to choose a flavor that tastes good both with and without alcohol.

Frozen margaritas probably won’t work best in this scenario. Although the lime flavor is pretty good on its own, there are probably some better options.

Top flavor suggestions for both alcohol and non-alcoholic slushies
