Abstract
An apparatus and method for dispensing a frozen alcoholic beverage in which an alcoholic beverage component is mixed with at least one other liquid component prior to freezing and dispensing as a frozen beverage product. The individual beverage components flow through the dispensing apparatus from separate containers through separate pressure-controlled component feed systems, exiting into a common mixing area where they form a single beverage product. This resulting product then enters the freezing and dispensing system where it is maintained at a pressure of about 20-27 psi while being processed into a frozen alcoholic beverage product until it is dispensed.
