Taste the Tropics at The Daiquiri Factory
Take a video tour of the frozen drink heaven
If a tropical vacation isn't in the cards anytime soon, you can still get a little taste of the islands (literally) right here in Midtown.
, which opened in October 2010, is a tiki-style restaurant and bar with a wall of swirling frozen drinks ranging from the standard margarita to the Orgasm (mango flavored) to the Habitual Violator (watermelon) to the Georgia Peach.
Pick your poison, then have it served up by one of the Factory's friendly bartenders in a 10-ounce ($6), 12-ounce ($7) or 16-ounce ($8) cup. And on Tuesdays, get any frozen drink you want in a 9-ounce cup for a measly $3.
