Is there any chance of gettingf a slushy machine in the Union bar?? Like the one they have in the Reiver, so we can have alcoholic slush puppies....
oh and we want frozen Margaritas plz :o)

hhhhhmmmmmmmmmm.... 'tis a thought.
Unfortunately, I'm not in town right now in order to talk to Dave and Sandy personally, but when I can, I will mention it to them.

I do admit that frozen margharitas are a hit in my books.

can i just express my interest in this as well,

it could be very very good for the union, as far as i know, the R R is the only public house in st andrews that stocks such a machine, and it seems like a very studenty drink


so i'm giving this my backing,

Yeah sure it sounds like a very good idea - we would need a big one tho - can you imagine a friday night and us running out of the stuff??? we would be marked men and women for not constantly having it full!!!!

Gets my vote, but as a barman it'd probably piss me off more than anything- but still worth it for when I'm on the otherside of the bar

I worked in a bar for two summers that had a frozen daiquiri machine: we sold ready made huckleberry daiquiris and traditional margaritas.

all the places i've seen,, the slush is alcoholic anyway.. so no need for shots!

just pour it into a glass.. even simpler!

Loving the idea of a slush machine! Probably a better idea to have the slush non-alcoholic, as would probably be less work for the bar staff, and there could be more variation in the slushy drinks offered.

Ooh - and non-drinkers/designated drivers could have cordial/slush combinations. And there are people who dislike fizzy mixers, so this would be another option for them.

And this is the perfect time of year to introduce it - in time for post-exam partying and the summer semester.

Would also probably pay for itself - I haven't a clue how big the initial cost would be, but I'd sure pay more for a slushy mixer than for a fizzy one.

Go on, please?

Edit - just realised that we have the machines anyway: they use them in Beatons for water at lumchtimes!
