Waterfront Concerts

Posted on Apr 29, 2020

We sat down with Ian Palmer from Waterfront Concerts, a prominent music venue with multiple locations in New England. Ian got his start in the frozen drink industry when he worked for Waterfront Concerts in both their Maine and Rhode Island locations, before working for their location in Massachusetts. They were serving frozen margaritas at these locations that were extremely popular. Ian’s favorite part is how happy frozen drinks make venue goers, especially during the summertime months. He also mentions how serving frozen drinks has vastly improved their turnout. 

Waterfront Concerts started their buying journey with Slices Concession when the company wanted to expand their flavor options for Coladas. He explained the buying process was very smooth and our managing partners were very informative in helping them decide on the perfect machine. 

Ian explains that frozen drinks in New England is a great way for company’s to expand their offerings during the hot summer months. A favorite drink option at Waterfront Concerts is their strawberry lime margarita, which they make on their Taylor 342 full standing models from Slices Concession. This drink is also Ian’s personal favorite. A technological innovation he would like to see during this time is the expansion of a more health-conscious environment. 

Check out how to make a great margarita using one of our machines, the Taylor 430. This recipe can also be used on the Taylor 342.

The Taylor 342 allows you to create delicious smoothies, frozen cocktails, fruit juices, coffees, cappuccino and tea slush beverages, all served at the desired thickness.
