Why Renting a Margarita Machine can be a Better Option Than Hiring a Bartender

/

Renting a margarita machine can be a better option than hiring a bartender in certain situations, such as:

  1. Cost: Renting a margarita machine can be more cost-effective than hiring a bartender, especially if you are hosting a large party or event. With a margarita machine, you can make a large quantity of margaritas at a fraction of the cost of hiring a bartender.
  2. Convenience: With a margarita machine, you can make a large quantity of margaritas ahead of time and have them ready to go when your guests arrive. This means that you can spend more time enjoying your party and less time worrying about making drinks.
  3. Consistency: A margarita machine ensures that all of your margaritas are made to the same standard every time. With a bartender, there is always the risk of human error or inconsistency in the drinks.
  4. Ease of use: Margarita machines are easy to use and require minimal setup and cleanup. Hiring a bartender, on the other hand, can require more effort in terms of setting up a bar area, preparing ingredients, and cleaning up after the event.

Of course, there are also benefits to hiring a bartender, such as the personal touch and interaction that they can bring to your party. Ultimately, the decision between renting a margarita machine or hiring a bartender depends on your specific needs and preferences.

Cocktail Mix Delivery Day!

/

We love delivery day. About once or twice per year a bulk order of cocktail mixes is made from our preferred vendor, Swirled Ice. Swirled Ice is based out of Houston, Texas. Because of nasty weather in Texas the shipment was delayed but it finally arrived. I drive out to the FedEx receiving facility to pick it up. The shipment full-filler places cocktail mix pallet right inside my vehicle and I drive off.

This cocktail delivery order has a bunch of the top three sellers (Margarita Gold, Strawberry Daiquiri, and Pina Colada), but also a variety of others flavors. This year I ordered a lot more Lemonade as they are really good with Vodka and a lot more people have been asking about good mixes to use with Vodka. There is also Mojito, Hurricane, Mudslide, Rum Runner, Sangria. Also a bunch of other kid flavors that are great for making slurpees. I look forward to a season using these mixes in the margarita machines!

How to Murder a Margarita

There is Literally Hundreds of Ways to Make a Margarita

The one variable that will never change is the quality of the Tequila that you use. Tequila is made from the Blue Agave plant thats natively grown in Jalisco and certain other areas of Mexico. The leaves of the Blue Agave plant are stripped and the core, also called the Pina, are heated and pressed. Its the juices from this Pina that are distilled into the Tequila you are drinking. Tequilas that are not 100% blue agave are referred to as Mixtos. Mixto Tequila can have up to 49% non agave sugars and sweeteners. Much of the time, these other sweeteners are cheap cane sugars and even worse, chemicals and dyes are added to make it look and taste like 100% blue agave. Hence when you need salt and lime to take these awful liquors down. If you had a bad experience in college, its probably because you were drinking really bad tequila.
