How much is it to rent a margarita machine from the margarita man?
The average cost per machine is $165. Our price includes delivery and pick up in our free delivery area (additional charge for delivery out of free delivery area), one bottle of our award winning mix of your choice, use of our 5-gallon pre-measured mixing bucket, 50 cups and salt if needed.
Are the machines easy to use?
Yes indeed. We mix your first batch for you and show you how to use the machine. We leave clear printed instructions. NO ICE IS NEEDED
How many drinks does one batch yield?
One batch of margaritas makes about 75 eight ounce drinks. Our experience shows that usually half or more of your guests will drink the frozen drinks even if offered a choice. We recommend one batch for every 25 frozen beverage drinkers. One machine will deliver frozen drinks for approximately 60 - 80 frozen beverage drinkers. If more guests are expected, a second machine is strongly recommended otherwise too much demand will be put on the one machine will not perform properly (second machines discounted). Additional mixes (all flavors) are $30.
How long does the first batch take?
Indoors about 30-40 minutes, outside on warm days about an hour. There is no waiting between batches because you add to the reservoir as you go. Easy to follow instructions are always left behind for reference. Easy step by step operation and refilling procedures are covered verbally by the courteous Margarita Man staff to ensure a successful event.
Who provides the liquor and how much is needed?
The customer provides all the liquor (the Margarita Man doesn't have a liquor license). A medium strength batch of margaritas calls for up to three liters of tequila and a half liter of triple sec (optional). Rum based drinks require between two and three liters of rum per batch. Vodka based drinks are by recipe (please call for details).
Are there other kinds of drinks available?
Absolutely!!! We offer 18 delicious flavors. Visit our flavors page to see a list.
