Margaritas of Austin
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much does it cost to rent a Fiesta Margarita machine?
A: Package
pricing is $299 + tax (no deposit required, you pay when we
deliver). Pricing includes double-unit machine delivery, 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-rimer). Additional mixes and Special
Delivery options* are
an additional charge.
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 60-85
eight-ounce drinks. Since margarita machines are so popular with guests
(even if other drinks are offered), we recommend one batch for every
25 guests. Extra mixes are $20 + tax and are refundable if unopened.
Q: How long does the first batch take to freeze?
A: We
recommend getting the batch started 1 ½ to 2 hrs
before your
party starts. For best results, the machine should be kept indoors and
out of direct sunlight (75F degrees).
Q: Who provides the liquor and how much will I need?
A: The
customer provides all liquor. Typical example: Traditional Lime
Margarita mix calls for three liters of tequila and one
liter triple sec.
Most other flavors use two liters of alcohol per batch.
Q: Are other kinds of drinks available?
A: Absolutely.
You can serve Strawberry Daiquiris, Strawberry
Margaritas, Piña Coladas, Rum Runners, Louisiana Hurricanes, Tropical
Punch, Goombay Smash, Raspberry Ritas, Go Mango,
Mudslides, Banana
Daiquiris, Peach Bellinis and Summertime Lemonade. We also have Swirl
mixes. Click Here to see our complete list of flavors.
Q: What about non-alcoholic options?
A: All
mixes can be made without alcohol for a non-alcoholic alternative
or FOR KIDS!
Q: How far in advance should I reserve my machine?
A: We
recommend at least three weeks for a Saturday night rental
from April through October and December.
Q: What do I need to do 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. Payment is required at time of
delivery.
