Maui Wowi smoothies are awesome with various types of alcohol.  Our strawberry banana, pina colada and mango orange smoothies go great with rum (some people like vodka).  Our Lemon Wave frozen lemonade is perfect with tequila for a frozen blended margarita.  And our frozen cappuccino is especially good with vodka and/or Kahlua. If you’re a big fan of coconut flavor, we suggest a coconut rum like Malibu.

We’re often asked whether we prefer one brand of rum to another for our smoothies. We recommend a brand like Bacardi, but in fact any rum is fine, even a spiced rum like Captain Morgan if that’s something you like. (What we don’t recommend is Bacardi 151, which is so overpowering that, in our humble opinion, it interferes with the taste of the smoothie.)

People also ask how much alcohol they should provide for us to pour. That depends on your crowd, but a liter bottle has about 20 pours, so that’ll give you a starting point. Generally we’ll serve 50 percent of our drinks with rum, 30 percent with vodka and 20 percent with tequila.

What about rules and regulations about serving alcohol? We can serve people of legal drinking age at private events. So if you’re having your own event or a corporate function that’s not open to the public, we can pour alcohol with our smoothies.  In term of requesting ID, we like to err on the conservative side.  So take it as a compliment if we ask to see your government-issued photo identification. We’re also very persnickety about serving underage folks, so please don’t even ask. That goes for private parties in your own backyard! And if we think you’ve had enough alcohol, even if we weren’t the ones who served it to you, we’re not gonna give you any more.

 Some folks are concerned that if they want a virgin drink, our blenders containers may already have alcohol in them. We pour alcohol into the cup, so the blenders won’t be contaminated. Problem solved!
