Q: How much does it cost to rent a
margarita machine from The Margarita Man?
A: The rental price ranges from $99.00 to $119.00, depending on
the date. This includes delivery
in our Free
Delivery Area, set up, pick up, your first bottle of mix
concentrate, use of our 5 gallon pre-measured mixing bucket, a cart to
place the machine on, cups, straws and margarita salt (with a salt-rimmer).
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 75-85
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 25-30 guests. Extra mixes are $20.00 - $30.00 each and are
refundable if returned 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 and one
liter triple sec. Most other flavors use two liters of liquor
per batch. Ask the Margarita Man for other recipes.
Q: Are other kinds of drinks
available?
A: Absolutely. You can serve Strawberry Daiquiris, Strawberry
Margaritas, Pina Coladas, Rum Runners, Louisiana Hurricanes, Tropical
Punch, Goombay Smash, Raspberry Ritas, Go Mango, Mudslides, Banana
Daiquiris, Peach Bellinis and Summertime Lemonade.

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.
Gratuities for the delivery driver are not required, but they are
greatly appreciated.
