Question: How much is it to rent a margarita machine from The Margarita Man?

Answer: 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
Question: How many drinks does one batch yield?
Answer: One batch of margaritas makes about 70 eight-ounce drinks. Our experience shows that usually half of more guests 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 up to 60 frozen beverage drinkers. If more guests are expected, a second machine is strongly recommended otherwise too much demand is put on the one machine and it cannot perform properly. (Additional machines discounted.) Extra mixes ARE REFUNDABLE IF RETURNED UNOPENED.

Answer: Indoors about 40 minutes, outside on warm days, about an hour. There is no waiting between batches because you add to the reservoir as you go. preferrably before machines's mix-low alert light comes on.

Helpful Hints
 If you have not rented a machine before, you may be surprised to learn that 50-70% of your guests will choose the frozen drinks over beer and wine. This means you can probably get by with providing less beer and wine.
Keep margarita machines in the shade during daytime operation.
Use a dedicated 110V, 20-amp circuit for each machine. If you don't know what that means, call us!
Using a cold mix will ensure better output. During hot weather, add a 1/2 small bag of ice to mixing bucket before adding the water.
Heavy gauge extension cords (12 Ga) are provided with each rental. Please do not use any other cords. Extension cords provided are typically 25 ft and should not exceed 50 feet total length.
Please tell us when you make your reservation if we will encounter any steps or stairways during delivery. If so, there must be one or more healthy males around to help the delivery person.
Unauthorized transportation of machine(s) will result in a $500 fine. Please do not attempt to relocate, lift or otherwise move machines.
