Question: How are your machines different from others?

​

Answer: We use commercial grade machines, not cheap plastic bubble tops that require over 3 hours to freeze. We also carry double cylinder machines that can make two different flavor drinks in one machine. Additionally, we have floater machines and shot machines. Give us a call and find out how we can provide more drink choices for one machine.

Question: How many drinks does one batch yield?

​

Answer: One batch of margaritas makes about 73 seven-ounce drinks. Our experience shows that when given a choice between frozen drinks and bar drinks, your guests will prefer frozen. 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, preferably before the machine'’s mix-low alert light comes on.
