Mixing up the drinks menu

Hamilton Beach Proctor-Silex Entry Level Drinks Mixer from FEM: an affordable way in to the mixed drinks market.

Milkshakes and mixed drinks offer a range of menu opportunities. Enjoyed by all ages at all times of the year, the different flavour combinations are endless and can be adapted to make the most of seasonal produce, flavour trends and customer tastes. Using seasonal produce not only provides scope for revamping drinks menus on a regular basis, but also makes the most of using foodstuffs at their best and while they are lower in cost.

The Hamilton Beach Proctor-Silex Entry Level Drinks Mixer (60200-UK), distributed in the UK by Foodservice Equipment Marketing (FEM), offers an affordable way into the market, making it ideal for those wishing to try out new drinks menu ideas or for low volume venues.

The free-standing mixer is activated when the cup is placed on the rest, with automatic start and stop and hands-free operation. The two-speed, 300W motor drives the stainless steel mixing shaft and agitator. The heavy base and built-in stability bar keeps the unit in place during mixing.

Not only is the Proctor-Silex drinks mixer perfect for mixing milkshakes, frappes and cocktails, it is equally as good for food prep tasks, such as blending eggs and mixing up pancake batter. Its compact size, 171mm (w) x 146mm (d) x 457mm (h), makes it ideal for keeping on hand behind the bar.

Easy to use and store, the drinks mixer is easy to clean, too. The stainless steel cup, cup guide and cup rest are quick to remove and are dishwasher safe.

FEM supplies the Hamilton Beach Proctor-Silex Entry Level Drinks Mixer (60200-UK) with a full one-year warranty, for a list price of £260 + VAT.
