For most tailgates beer does just fine. A little vodka added to a water bottle filled with orange or cranberry juice works too. Maybe a little Captain in your Coke. But there are times when you need an expanded drink menu. Like when the girls come along. Having a blender to mix some margaritas would be a bonus. (Daiquiris would work too, but I think there are laws against having daiquiris at a tailgate. Girls or no girls.)

The Margarator is a portable drink mixer with an ice crushing motor that can make a gallon of blender drinks and plugs right into your car for power. Pour in some margarita mix, tequila and ice, hit the switch, and in seconds it's like Cinco De Mayo in the parking lot.

It works for pool parties, barbecues and camping trips, too. Any place you need an adult beverage-flavored slush.
