Q: Are the machines easy to use?
A: Very easy!  We mix your first batch and show you how to use the machine. We leave clear printed instructions, plus our after hours cell phone number. NO ICE NEEDED.

Q: How many drinks does one batch make?
A: One batch of our traditional margaritas makes about 70 eight ounce drinks. Our experience shows that usually half or more guests drink the frozen drinks even if you offer a choice. We recommend one batch for every 25 guests. Extra mixes are $20.00 each and are refundable if unopened.

Q: How long does the first batch take to freeze?
A: About 45 minutes if the machine is indoors (75 F degrees); a little longer if outdoors and warmer.  No waiting between batches.

Q: Who provides the liquor and how much will I need?
A: The customer provides all liquor. A medium strength batch of our traditional margaritas calls for three liters of tequila.  Most other flavors use two liters of alcohol per batch. Ask the Margarita Man for other recipes.

Q: Are other kinds of drinks available?
A: Absolutely. All mixes can be made without alcohol FOR KIDS!

Q: How far in advance should I reserve my machine?
A: We recommend at least three weeks for a Saturday night rental from April thru October and December. Make sure the number of guests does not exceed the drink making capacity for each machine, otherwise the machine will not perform properly. Ask about our multi-machine rental discounts!

Q: What do I need when you deliver the machine?
A: When we deliver your machine, we will need to speak with someone who will be responsible for the operation of the machine and we need the required liquor for the first mix.  We will make your first batch of mix and make sure the machine is set up and operating properly, then we will give you the operation instructions.
