Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many drinks do I get out of a batch?
A:  Our mix makes about 3 gallons once you add the alcohol, you will typically get about 40 drinks per batch.  Our mix is a VERY low water to mix ratio (3:1), which makes it the best available.  Some competitors use a higher ratio mix such as 4:1 or 5:1 which will make 50-70 drinks per batch.  Just remember....the lower the ratio, the more real fruit in the mix.  If you want the best you can get, stay away from drink mixes that make 4-5 gallons at a time.  One way to figure out how many mixes to use, is to estimate based on each guest having 2-3 servings each.

Q: How much ice is needed?

A:  None.  The frozen drink machine freezes its own mix within 45 minutes.

 

Q:  How much mix will I need?  

A:  Usually a batch of mix will serve about 40 people at your party or event .  This is pretty consistent, even if you are serving beer, wine, and/or liquor as well.

 

Q:  How much mix do you bring?                                          

A:  We bring you more than you will need and you only pay for what you use.  We charge you for the machine rental and the number of mixes that you used when we pick the machine up.

 

Q:  How do I clean the frozen drink machine? 

A:  You do not need to clean the machine, we take care of that for you.  Once the party or event is finished, just turn the frozen drink machine off and leave it alone.  We will come to pick it up and clean it.  This service is all included in the price of the rental.

 

Q:  How much alcohol do I need?

 A:  Once you know the number of expected guests, we will tell you exactly what and how much to get based on our rule of thumb (1 batch=every 40 people)

 

A:  Yes, but make sure that the cups are no larger than 9oz.  If a cup is bigger than 9oz., the machine has to work twice as hard to keep up with the party or event.  This is a recipe for disaster especially if you rent 2 machines.

Q:  Can I buy my own cups?
