| Q. |
How much is it to rent a margarita machine from Mr Margarita? |
| A. |
Our prices vary throughout the year due to availability and seasonal demand. Our average price is $125.00, which includes a Mr Margarita margarita machine, 50 - 10oz. cups, extension chords, our 5-gal. pre-measured mixing bucket, a heavy duty Rubbermaid cart and a salter for the cups is included. We will also set it up for you. Each additional bottle of mix is billable at $20.00 as used. If we over estimate the amount of mix we deliver, any unopened bottles are returnable at no charge. Typically we leave 1 extra bottle as a "just in case" at no charge unless used. Therefore, it is better to be long than short on mix supply. We also offer free local delivery and pickup (additional charge for delivery outside of our local delivery area)

| Q. |
How many drinks does one batch yield? |
| A. |
One batch of margaritas makes about 80 eight-ounce drinks. The machine will hold about one whole batch (5 gallons of mix). 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 frozen beverage drinkers. Extra margarita mix is $20.00 and refundable if unopened.
|
| Q. |
How long does the first batch take? |
| A. |
Indoors about 30 minutes, outside on warm days, up to an hour. There is no waiting between batches because you add to reservoir when the mix-low light comes on.
|
| Q. |
Who provides the liquor and how much will I need? |
| A. |
The customer provides all liquor. A medium strength batch of margaritas calls for three liters tequila, and a half-liter triple sec.

Absolutely. You can serve Strawberry Daiquiris or Margaritas, Pinã Coladas, Raspberry Ritas, Mango Ritas, Banana Daiquiris, Peach Bellinis, Louisiana Hurricanes, Bordermilk (Lemon Freeze), Tropical Punch, Goombay Smash (rum punch), Rum Runners.

| Q. |
How far in advance should I reserve my machine? |
| A. |
We recommend 4 weeks and longer for holiday seasons and traditional party dates like Halloween and New Years Eve. One machine will delivery frozen drinks for up to 75 frozen beverage drinkers. If more guests are expected, a second machine is strongly recommended otherwise the machine will not perform properly.
