How much to make in your machine
Every Margaritaville frozen concoction maker is designed around a particular volume of liquid — the shaver portions ice for it. The table scales this recipe to the margarita liquid volume printed in each model’s manual (Key West DM1000 / DM1946 3 × 12 oz drinks: 9.75 fl oz; Bahamas DM0500 / Fiji DM2000 3 × 12 oz drinks: 13 fl oz; Tahiti DM3000 per 24 oz jar: 8.67 fl oz; Bali DM3500 half chamber: 11 fl oz; Bali DM3500 full chamber: 22 fl oz). Amounts are rounded to the nearest ¼ or ⅓ oz.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| white rum | 4 oz | 5⅓ oz | 3½ oz | 4½ oz | 9 oz |
| peach schnapps (optional) | 1 oz | 1¼ oz | ¾ oz | 1 oz | 2 oz |
| fresh lime juice | 2⅔ oz | 3½ oz | 2⅓ oz | 3 oz | 6 oz |
| simple syrup | 2¼ oz | 3 oz | 2 oz | 2½ oz | 5 oz |
| frozen peach slices | 1¾ cups | 2⅓ cups | 1½ cups | 2 cups | 4 cups |
Scaling is our calculation, not a manufacturer recipe. Fruit- and ice-cream-heavy drinks vary more; adjust with the Shave Only / Blend Only controls. The Key West DM1900 isn’t listed because we haven’t verified its manual yet.
Machine notes for this drink
- This recipe includes fruit. On the Fiji, Tahiti and Bali, choose the Daiquiris (or Smoothies) program so the cycle blends longer; on the Bahamas and Key West, hold Blend Only for a few extra seconds after the automatic cycle if you see chunks. Fruit adds volume, so keep an eye on the jar’s maximum line.
- This batch uses about 11 fl oz of liquid for 3 drinks. If your drink comes out watery, the manuals’ first fix is to follow the recipe volumes or manually shave more ice; if it’s too stiff, add liquid and Blend Only.
Why this recipe works
Peach is mild; lime and schnapps sharpen it.
About frozen daiquiris
Daiquiris add whole fruit to the jar, which changes how the machine behaves: fruit takes up volume and thickens the drink. Watch the jar’s max line, and if chunks remain after the cycle, hold Blend Only for a few seconds. Frozen fruit gives the best texture.
Tips for the best texture
- Leave skins for color.
- Taste fresh peaches first.
- Grilled peaches add smoke.
- Mint is a nice garnish.
- Never put anything but ice in the ice reservoir, and don’t fill the jar past its maximum line — both are warnings in every manual.
- Too thin? Hold the toggle in Shave Only for a few seconds, then Blend Only to mix it in. Too thick? Add an ounce of liquid and Blend Only.
Serving & make-ahead
Garnish with peach slice, mint and serve in a hurricane glass. Daiquiris are best poured the moment the cycle ends, because fruit-heavy slushes separate as they melt. Keep spare frozen fruit for garnish, and if you are making several batches, rinse the jar between flavors so colors stay bright. A wide-mouth straw helps with thicker fruit blends.
Variations
- Peach-mango: Half and half.
- Peach-raspberry: Add raspberries.
- Bourbon peach: Use bourbon instead of rum.
Mocktail swap
Skip rum and schnapps; use peach Bellini mixer.

Frequently asked questions
Canned peaches?
Drain, skip half the syrup.
Skip schnapps?
Yes.
Fresh?
Extra ice needed.
How much ice should I put in the machine?
Fill the ice reservoir with ice cubes — the machine shaves the amount it needs for the cycle (dial models size it to the 1, 2 or 3-drink setting). The manuals recommend ice that has been out of the freezer for 10–15 minutes.
Will this work in a regular blender?
Yes — add about 1½–2 cups of ice per 12 oz drink and blend until smooth. The texture will be coarser than shaved ice.
