How much does it cost to rent a margarita machine?

Our Party Package is $224: one 2-bowl machine, one mix, and 50 cups and straws. A machine on its own is $205, two machines are $410, and three are $615. Extra mixes are $30 each. Delivery is priced by area, from $95, and shows at checkout. Price your party to see your total.

Do you provide the alcohol?

No. We bring the machine and the non-alcoholic mix, and you provide the alcohol. Margaritas take silver or gold tequila, daiquiris and tropical flavors take rum, and most fruit flavors take vodka: 1 to 2 bottles (1.75 liter) per mix. Frosé and sangria take 2 to 3 bottles of wine (750 ml). See each flavor on our flavors page.

How many drinks does one mix make?

Margarita mixes make about 75 drinks of 8 ounces. Daiquiri, piña colada, and most fruit slushie mixes make about 50, and sangria about 60. For up to 50 guests, plan on 1 to 3 mixes; for 50 to 100 guests, 3 to 5; over 100 guests, 5 or more and another machine.

How many guests does one machine serve?

One 2-bowl machine serves up to 100 guests. For more than 100, add a machine so one can freeze while the other pours and the drinks never stop.

How many flavors can I choose?

Each machine has two freezing bowls side by side, so you can pick up to two flavors per machine. We carry 33 mixes.

How long does the machine take to freeze?

2 to 3 hours. We schedule delivery so the drinks are frozen before your guests arrive. You don't need ice.

What power do the machines need?

A dedicated 110 volt, 15 amp outlet for each machine, on a circuit used only by the machine. Keep microwaves, refrigerators, and other appliances off that circuit so the power doesn't trip.

What do you set the machine on?

A sturdy counter, table, bar, or buffet table that holds 150 pounds or more; no card tables or folding tables. No good table? Rent our rolling machine cart for $35. It holds one machine.

Do you need water at the party?

Yes. Have a garden hose and a water source ready when we arrive, because we use them to set up and mix. If there's no water on site, we tell you how many gallons of bottled water to buy.

Where do you deliver?

Austin and the Austin metro, Round Rock, Georgetown, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Leander, Hutto, Liberty Hill, Lakeway, the Hill Country, and north to Temple, Belton, and Waco. See delivery areas and fees.

When do you drop off and pick up?

Most rentals are one day; multi-day rentals of up to 7 days can be booked online. We set the drop-off and pickup times with you at least 24 hours before your event. Same-day drop-off and pickup is available for $175.

What if I don't use all the mix?

Return unopened mixes when we pick up the machine and we refund them in full. With the Party Package, we bring a spare mix along just in case: open it and it is charged at the full mix price; leave the seal unbroken and there is no charge. Any spare mix you open is charged to your card after the event, so you may see a second, smaller charge.

What is your cancellation policy?

Full refund of the machine rental up to two weeks before your event. Less than two weeks but more than 48 hours before, there is a 15% cancellation fee. Within 48 hours, no refund.

Do I need cups and straws?

The Party Package includes 50 cups and straws. Many hosts bring their own; we can add more if you call.

Can kids have slushies?

Yes. Every mix is alcohol-free until you add alcohol, so the same machine makes frozen slushies for kids. You can run one bowl for adults and one for kids.

How do I pay?

Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express. You pay in full when you book. The total adds 8.25% sales tax and a 4% technology fee for card payment, and checkout offers an optional tip.

Do you sell gift cards?

Yes, $100, $250, and $500 gift cards for Travis and nearby counties. One gift card per order. They never expire and can be transferred.

Can I pick up the machine myself?

No. Every rental is delivered, set up, and picked up by our team. The machines are heavy commercial equipment, over 150 pounds when filled.

Can I move the machine after it's set up?

No. Pick the final spot before we set up; once it's in place it stays there until pickup.

Can I use my own syrup or mix?

No. Only our mixes go in the machines, because other syrups can damage them. Unopened mixes come back for a full refund at pickup. We sell our mixes only with a machine rental; for bulk syrup, call or text us.

Can the machine go outside?

Yes, with a dedicated 110 volt outlet and a sturdy surface that holds 150 pounds or more. We can't set up on rock or gravel. At a public park, you need a generator of at least 3,500 watts per outlet. Mention the outdoor setup when you book.

How far ahead do I need to book?

Online booking needs at least 2 days' notice. Inside 2 days, or if your date shows unavailable, call or text (512) 222-7920; we may still fit you in.

How many machines do I need?

One machine for up to 100 guests, two for 100 to 200, and three for 200 or more. Four or more machines: call or text for a quote.

Can I book last minute?

Often, yes. Online booking needs 2 days' notice, and many of our parties book just a few days ahead. For anything sooner, call or text (512) 222-7920.

How do I rim the cups?

Wet the rim with simple syrup or honey, dip it in the salt or sugar, and rotate gently. Each 4 oz package is $21 and rims about 40 drinks. Choose lime margarita salt, citrus jalapeño salt, Tajín, sweet heat sugar, chocolate sugar, or peppermint sugar. See recipes.

What is the damage waiver?

An optional add-on at checkout. For 10% of your order before tax (items and delivery), we waive any damage to our equipment while you have it, except intentional damage or theft.

Is there a Cinco de Mayo surcharge?

Yes. From April 30 to May 6, 2027, a $75 surcharge per machine per day applies, because it is our busiest week. Price my party adds it when you pick a date that week.

Can I keep the machine more than one day?

Yes. Rentals can run up to 7 days, and each extra day is billed at the daily rate. Pick the multi-day option when you book.

Where should the machine go?

On a sturdy surface out of direct sun, within reach of its own outlet. Someone needs to be there when we deliver to confirm the spot and learn how it works; it takes a few minutes.

What do I do after the party?

Rinse the bowls with water before we pick up. Save leftover mix in zipper bags in the freezer, or serve it on the rocks. Unopened mixes come back for a full refund.
