Q: What do I need to supply?

When we show up you will need to have these items ready:

• A smile on your face because this is going to be the best darn party you have EVER had.

• Electricity -- DEDICATED standard 110 circuit with 15 amps.
  (This means NOTHING else should be on this circuit or else the margarita machine WILL NOT WORK. Pick a place that is within 6 feet of an electrical outlet. )

• NO EXTENSION CORDS!!! If you use an extension cord, it must be 10- 12 gauge and no more than 25 feet long! Any other cord WILL NOT WORK.

• Water (do not mix with the above item...NOT a good way to party!).

• Alcohol if you are having it in your drinks

Through our experience we have learned a few secrets about getting the best performance out of your Granita Frozen Margarita Drink Machine.  If you follow these very simple tips, you will have an awesome experience.

1. Before we arrive, go to your local grocery store and purchase 3.5 gallons of water (or put water in jugs at home).

2. Put the water in the fridge...make sure it is ICE COLD when we get there.

3. Also put your alcohol in the FREEZER if you have room (or else in the fridge will be just fine).

4. The reason you will like having gone thru all of this trouble is that your drinks will be ready in a flash since all of your ingredients are already at about 35 degrees.

5. If you leave everything out on the counter (tequila and triple sec) and then get the water directly from your tap, you will be starting with ingredients that are about 80 degrees.

6. In case you are not following along...32 degrees is MUCH closer to 35 degrees than to 80 degrees....and 32 degrees is where things freeze and the party starts!

7. When we leave, fill the water jugs back up and put them back in the fridge so you will be ready for round two!

How many machines and mixes will I need for my party?

The following chart shows how many machines and how much drink mix you will need for your event.  Our assumptions are the party will last 3 - 4 hours, guest count is people over 18, and drinks are served in 9oz cups.  History has shown that 70% - 80% of your guest will have a frozen drink if offered a choice.  The other factor that comes into consideration is that when the party starts, that is when the highest demand is put on the machines.  You will need machines that can keep up with the demand in the first 30 - 45 minutes of the party.
