Nothing complements a summer party like a frosty, cold drink. The Margarita has grown from being a Mexican restaurant staple, to a classic drink enjoyed by many different kinds of party guests. If you have ever slaved over a blender to keep the salt-rimmed glasses of your guests full during a party, you might have considered just serving beer instead. Rather than just give up on serving a blended margarita to your guests, why not consider renting a margarita machine instead?

A margarita machine is a simple way to serve twenty to sixty guests delicious frozen margaritas, freeing you to be the host you want to be. The setup for most machines is simple, simply plug it in, add the margarita mix, and wait. Many new machines don't even require ice; they have their own cooling system inside. You can choose to add tequila to the mix, or make it virgin and allow your guests to add the amount of alcohol to their own taste.

A rented frozen drink machine can be used to make more than just margaritas. Any frozen drink can be concocted, you simply add the ingredients. Some classics are pina coladas, made of coconut and pineapple juice, strawberry daiquiris, mudslides made with vodka and Kahlua, and any other chilled drink you can think of. You might even be creative enough to make your own signature frozen drink. Your party guests will feel like they are on a cruise or vacationing at an exotic resort with a frosty, slushy drink in their hands.

Renting a frozen drink maker is very simple. Most party rental companies now carry them in stock. Call your local party rental provider and ask them what they have in stock. Rental fees vary by location, but when you consider the amount of time and inconvenience you could spend making batch after batch of margaritas in your home blender, the price is usually more than worth the minimal rental fee. Additionally, many rental providers will drop off, set up, and pick up the machine for you. All you need to do is add the mix, and clean up when the party is over. So for your next summer party, take it to the next level and consider renting a frozen drink machine to keep your guests cool, relaxed and happy all day long. You will certainly be the party host that everyone remembers for a long time to come.

If you have ever been to a really fantastic party you know there are many elements that make it stand out in your memory. Great food, good friends, fun decor, and of course, delicious party drinks. One of the best ways to provide your guests with drinks they will remember for years to come, is to serve frozen drinks made fresh in your very own margarita machine. Once you operate a frozen drink maker of your own you will find it as indispensable as the BBQ grill itself as a tool for throwing a fantastic backyard bash.

While it might seem that buying your own margarita machine is a big expense for a party host, it can actually be an economical choice. If you frequently entertain at home or work, then rental fees can really add up. Nationwide, a small frozen drink maker can rent at a rate of anywhere from $75- $150 a day. In addition, you can incur additional rental costs if your machine is not returned on time, is damaged in any way, or if it is not cleaned properly. For a host who likes to have guests over frequently, these rental costs and hassles can really add up.

When you buy a margarita machine, it is always there for you, and you don't have to worry about set up, delivery, or being blamed for damaging an expensive machine. You will find that you can think of many more uses for your machine than just margaritas. You can make slushy drinks for the kids, healthy smoothies, or create your own classic frozen beverages. You are limited only by your own imagination and what ingredients you want to add to your drinks.

The costs of buying your own beverage maker can vary. A top of the line industrial grade machine can cost nearly $4000, but there are more affordable options varying down to the low hundreds. When you consider the cost of repeated rentals, buying your own machine can provide a great value over time. Some party rental operators will sell their older machines at a discount, so if money is concern, watch for deals on second hand machines. When you consider that at a bar a blended margarita can cost $5 or more, and a home made margarita from your own machine would be made just the way you like it, for less than a dollar a serving, it is easy to see why so many homeowners are buying their own frozen drink dispensers.
