Frequently Asked Questions

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 $155.00, 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. Are the machines easy to use?

A. Yes indeedee! At delivery, each easy step of machine operation and refilling procedures are covered verbally to ensure a successful event Easy to follow instructions are always left behind for reference We mix your first batch and show you how to use the machine!
NO BARTENDER REQUIRED, NO CO2 CARTRIDGES, NO BLENDER, NO ICE, NO MESS!

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. We recommend that if you use a machine outdoors, you will get the best performance if you keep it in the shade.

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. Check out the Recipes page to judge other mix ratios.

Q. Are other kinds of drinks available?

A. Absolutely. You can serve Strawberry Daiquiris or Margaritas, Pin Coladas, Raspberry Ritas, Mango Ritas, Banana Daiquiris, Peach Bellinis, Louisiana Hurricanes, Lemon Freeze, Tropical Punch, Mudslides or Rum Runners. All can be made as non-alcoholic fruit slushies FOR KIDS!

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.

Mixing Instructions | Reservations & Payments | F.A.Q.'s Reservation and Payment Call (949) 233-9931 to reserve. Your name, a few details, and a credit card number are required. All customer information is 100% confidential. Reserve as early as possible to ensure availability. A valid credit card imprint is required for security deposit at time of delivery. Final payment is made the night before your delivery. A 50% fee applies for cancellations less than 10 days before the event. Mixing Instructions | Reservations & Payments | F.A.Q.'s Mixing Instructions Use our 5-gallon bucket provided for mixing. (Bucket is property of Mr Margarita.) Empty contents of ½ gallon Mr Margarita mix into bucket. Add water to red line. Add 1 to 3-liters of Tequila, depending on the strength of drink desired (2 is a good average). Add one-half liter Triple Sec. (Optional, the mix has natural Triple-Sec flavoring.) Stir well. Slowly pour entire contents into machine. Switch machine to AUTO/ to the right 45 minutes to an hour before the party. Switching the machine on earlier than this and allowing the machine to sit idle can cause a freeze-up blockage. Drinks are ready to serve in about 30 to 40 minutes or when the fan on the side of the machine turns off. DO NOT LET MACHINE RESERVOIR BECOME COMPLETELY EMPTY BETWEEN BATCHES. TIPS FOR TROUBLE FREE OPERATIONS OF THE MARGARITA MACHINE Use ONLY heavy duty 12 gauge wire extension cord provided with machine. This is larger than most standard extension cords, and you probably don't have one. Damage will occur to machines hooked up with smaller than 12 gauge wire extension cords. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE Drawing too many drinks too fast causes them to become soupy. Wait 5 to 10 minutes for the machine to recover. When party is almost over, you may allow the reservoir to become empty by switching machine to WASH/to the left. The freezing action is now off. Otherwise, if freezing action were on, AUTO, the final drinks freeze up and refuse to flow. This stoppage can happen during the party if reservoir is allowed to become emtpy.
