Blending through the years
The Waring company introduced the first blender to the kitchen appliance world in 1937, a feat that makes 2012 its 75th year in operation. The company sent a brochure featuring nostalgic promotional photos of the blender's evolving design and a sample recipe featured from each decade. Recipes included Jellied Madrilene Chilled Soup for the 1930s, Charlotte Russe in the 1970s and Mango-Lime Smoothies for the 2000s.
The 1940s recipe for Frozen Daiquiris looks like a warm weather winner. The advertisement promotion read "Makes Freezing Cold Drinks in 30 Seconds!"
Frozen Daiquiris
3 ounces light rum
11/2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon sugar
2 heaping cups crushed ice
PLACE all ingredients in blender. Cover. Blend 60 seconds, or until mixture is consistency of fine snow. Pour or spoon mixture out with a spatula into glasses.
