When the season transforms to spring there is a certain joy that fills people and life is more cheerful. Spring is a time that conjures up colourful images of flowers and fruits. These colours should be prevalent in your bar or restaurant because it will encourage customers to spend more time at your establishment. The Summit Bar Blender is a wonderful piece of commercial kitchen equipment that delivers delicious blended and iced drinks for your customers.

The Summit Bar Blender has wonderful features and benefits that can give your bar or restaurant the upper hand. So here they are…

• Firstly, a surprising feature of this unit is that it crushes ice. Yes, you can put ice into this blender and make crushed ice for those evening cocktail hours. The Summer Bar Blender is building with industrial grade stainless steel blades that makes this chore so easy that you’ll miss it if you blink.
• This feature means that you can prepare frozen margaritas, strawberry daiquiris and many more ice based cocktails that your customers will love. We all know that people enjoy a variety of options when you present your menu. Some like their sweet cocktails and some like their dry cocktails. While others like it shaken not stirred.
• In addition to ice crushing and cocktails, this commercial kitchen equipment is known for its smooth smoothies. Choose the fruit combinations you want to offer to your customers, have the fresh fruit ready and get to blending. From apple and mint, to strawberries and bananas, there are dozens of fruit combinations that you can add to your menu. It may be a good idea to focus a bit more on the high vitamin C fruit combinations for the added immune boost. This will encourage more customers to choose your smoothies over others. Just thought I’d add in a free tip there.
• You can also make deliciously tasty fruit based milkshakes. Toss in some ice cream with your fruit of choice and blend the ingredients to make mesmerising milkshakes. With the function settings of the Summit Bar Blender you control whether you want to have thick milkshakes or super thick milkshakes. It all depends what you want to be remembered for when customers think of your restaurant’s milkshakes.
• On the technical side, this commercial kitchen equipment is very durable and comes with an easy to use multi-function control panel. That means it can be used daily and often because it is made for the commercial environment where the demand is high. The control panel allows you to familiarise yourself with different functions and speeds that are suitable for the different drinks you have on your menu. Each drink will have its own setting and if you have this as part of your recipe you can make consistent drinks every time.
• The Summit Bar Blender is manufactured with an industrial high speed motor. Of course you know how important speed of service is in the bar and restaurant industry. The faster you can deliver the drinks the better. Remember speed and taste is the winning combination. And that combination can bring more customers to you more often.

The Summit Bar Blender is a wonderful commercial kitchen equipment that is able to add value to your bar or restaurant because of its durability, functionality and versatility. It is worth investing in. It gives you the option to add more blended drinks to your menu and also gives you the advantage of speed in the preparation of these drinks. So go on and enjoy the warmer days that spring has brought upon us. Remember to stay safe!
