Recently busted out with our Ninja Ultima we bought a million years ago and it wouldn't run! Horror of horrors! This was a model released to compete with blendtec and vitamix. Performance was on par but it's main advantage was it also converted to a processor, shredder, slicer, etc.
I don't wanna get to far off track, it was an ice demon! I quickly checked online for options and found the best Ninja had to offer was the new Ninja Detect system. This one claims to be fully automatic, detects viscosity, temp, weight etc and runs accordingly. Skeptical.....
The old Ultima was classic
I'm getting to the margarita recipe....
Before I could throw out the old one I just had to take a look, I like to tinker. Dagnabbit it was just gunk in a safety switch! It works just fine but now I have 2 blenders.
The ultimate test for the new one, frozen margaritas.
1 full can of limeade
1 cup of tequila- cheap stuff works
1 full tall shot of Blue curacao
1 shot of triple sec
6 cups of ice and blend. I used the full automatic mode and it pulsed, paused, pulsed, ramped up and down etc and at the end we had silky smooth drinks. The new one is a keeper and the old one will go to our vacation home. Worked out in the end!
We've used this recipe for many years, everyone loves them and I'm certain you will too! Got it from a buddy I worked with while we were in Vegas at a seminar LOL.
Enjoy, I hope the new blender outlasts the old one. It's gonna be a tough act to follow.
