# Portable Cocktail Makers The Margarator By Pearl | Published 2008-10-25 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frozen-drink-blender-portable-mararator-cocktail-drink-maker References: [gadgets.boingboing.net](http://gadgets.boingboing.net/2008/10/23/margarator-msb585-it.html) & [margarators](http://www.margarators.com/) The Margarator is a frozen drink blender where you can crush ice and mix your favorite [margaritas and other blended drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/margarita-dispenser). There are two reasons why the margarator is different from ordinary kitchen blenders. First, there is a dispensing tap which makes pouring a lot easier. But one model, the MSB-585, has one thing kitchen blenders don’t have--a car plug! You can party anywhere! For drink aficionados, check out the Margarators.com site for a vast selection of [frozen drink machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silvercrest-slushy-maker). They also have [smoothie makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frozen-treat1) for teetoalers. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Portable Cocktail Makers:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create portable cocktail makers with advanced features like a dispensing tap and car plug for ultimate convenience. - **Frozen Drink Blenders:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop frozen drink blenders with improved functionality and features for mixing a variety of blended drinks. - **Smoothie Makers:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design innovative smoothie makers with advanced technology to cater to health-conscious consumers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Kitchen Appliances:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Innovate and improve traditional kitchen blenders by adding features like dispensing taps and car plugs for portable use. - **Beverage Equipment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce new frozen drink machines with enhanced capabilities to provide a variety of drink options to consumers. - **Health and Wellness Appliances:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create advanced smoothie makers specifically designed for health-conscious individuals, offering modern features and customization options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Branded Cocktail Blenders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maui-onthego-frozen-concoction-maker.md) - [Cocktail-Making Washing Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beverage-machine.md) - [Oversized Icy Drink Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ninja-slushi-max.md) - [At-Home Bartending Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-and-decker-bev.md) - [Cordless Cocktail Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bev-by-black-decker.md) - [Rechargeable Cocktail Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cordless-cocktail-maker.md) - [App-Enabled Cocktail Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bartifier-cocktail-maker.md) - [Shaker-Free RTD Margaritas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunny-margarita.md) - [Ice-Free Frozen Drink Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inoviva-slushie-machine.md)
