How many drinks does a margarita machine rental make?
Most standard machines whip up 5 gallons—that’s 640 ounces! If you’re serving up drinks in an 8 oz margarita glass or a plastic cup, you’ll get about 80 servings out of each machine. Want to mix things up? Dual margarita machines let you play with two flavors, with each side holding between 3 to 5 gallons.
Just a heads-up: These numbers are based on making alcoholic drinks. If you’re planning to use the machine for slushies or other non-alcoholic frozen drinks, you’ll get about 60 servings from each batch. Perfect for keeping everyone cool and refreshed!
How many guests will one machine serve?
- 1 machine for up to 100 guests

Do you have other helpful tips?
The machine will work much better if it is in the shade instead of direct sun, especially for margarita machine rentals in Texas!
Also, these machines are extremely heavy, so pick out the spot you plan to locate it before the vendor arrives. It cannot be moved once they have it all filled up.
Finally, again due to the heavy weight, margarita machines can only be delivered to a multi-story building if there is a working elevator!
